Thousands of Victorians are without power and a home has been struck by lightning as dangerous thunderstorms lash parts of the state.

Heavy rain has also continued in Queensland with parts of Townsville recording more than 300mm in 24 hours.

By 9.30am most of the storm had passed over central Melbourne, leaving flooded roads, traffic lights down, slippery train platforms and power outages.

The thunderstorms were moving south-east and were predicted to hit Flinders, Hastings and Mornington, followed by Phillip Island, French Island and south of Cranbourne.

A Bundoora home was struck by lightning and set on fire just after 8am.

Three people were evacuated from the property, on Betula Avenue, and were treated by paramedics before being taken to hospital. The fire was contained with about 40% of the home damaged in the blaze.

Meanwhile, more than 7,000 people were without power as of 9.45am.
