A 17-year-old boy was taken to hospital on Saturday afternoon after being struck by lightning in the Darling Downs town of Allora.
Police said the boy had put his hand on a metal door handle when he was struck about 4.40pm but escaped serious injury.

The lightning strike occurred as a wild cell of storms passed through the region and across to the coast on Saturday afternoon.
And forecasters are saying south-east Queensland could be in for a repeat of Saturday's super storms on Sunday.
Bureau of Meteorology forecaster Janine Yuasa said there was a moderate chance of thunderstorms for areas inland of the Gold Coast and a slight chance of the storms reaching western and southern areas of Brisbane.
Temperatures were expected to remain in the forties for parts of Queensland with Birdsville expecting a top of 42 on Sunday after reached 46 degrees the day before.
A pair of dangerous, super cell storms marched toward Brisbane on Saturday afternoon creating winds in excess of 100 km/h, leaving 30,000 homes without power and sending a teenage boy to hospital after being struck by lightning.
Flights at Brisbane Airport were delayed for as long as two hours, Gold Coast beaches were closed and the State Emergency Service was sent to about 80 jobs.

Ms Yuasa said the super cell tracked north through the Wide Bay region throughout Saturday evening before pushing off the Gladstone coast about 2am on Sunday.
Harrisville, 25 kilometres south of Ipswich, recorded 72 millimetres of rain and Kooralbyn, 27 kilometres south-west of Beaudesert, received 61.
Ms Yuasa said about 40 millimetres fell in just 30 minutes at Mount Suagrloaf and Round Mountain, west of the Gold Coast in between Beaudesert and Boonah.

While the rainfall totals may not have been as impressive, the wind certainly made up for it.
Gusts of more than 100 km/h swept through Dalby while Amberley and Gatton saw about 90 km/h.

Energex crews were kept busy throughout Saturday evening and into Sunday morning, with power outages peaking at 30,000 before dropping down to less than 2,000 by 9am.
They pulled an all-nighter with SES crews who responded to calls for help mostly in Logan, Scenic Rim, Ipswich and Sunshine Coast with leaking roofs, minor flooding and fallen trees the problems.
There was a scary near-miss for one Logan lady and her partner as she captured a terrifying lightning strike on film, believed to be less than 50 metres away.
Hail fell at Boonah in the Scenic Rim and many places in Brisbane's south but other suburbs were left with little more than a light and wind show, followed by a stunning orange sunset.
As the storm passed through Cedar Grove in Logan, Angela Grundy and partner Luke were putting the car back in the shed when they stopped to film the weather.
All of a sudden, there's a flash, a crack, a loud scream and the phone goes down.
"It was super close," Ms Grundy said.
"Originally we thought it was about 50m away but looking back through the video frame by frame it was much, much closer."

Thursday saw hail the size of tennis balls fall in the Sunshine Coast hinterland, as wild weather lashed the State.
