Bushfires continue to sweep across Tasmania, with hot and windy weather predicted to resume tomorrow.

Meanwhile, flooding from massive rainfall in Far North Queensland is expected to have damaged properties, the Insurance Council of Australia says.

In Tasmania, reports of property losses are coming in from the Huon Valley, near Hobart, with three homes now confirmed destroyed.

The Tasmania Fire Service says there are 44 fires listed, with 21 considered ongoing. Yesterday the fire danger rating in some regions reached “severe” and a total fire ban will continue in some parts of the state tomorrow.

In a briefing today the service said the destroyed homes came under ember attack and were undefendable. The owners have been notified and the service says their decision to leave early "undoubtedly saved their lives".

Emergency warnings have been issued for several communities in the Huon Valley, with many residents urged to consider evacuating their properties.

The Bureau of Meteorology says the state’s southeast and the Upper Derwent Valley will face “severe” fire danger tomorrow, with “very high” fire dangers in the northeast, east coast, Midlands and Central Plateau.

Hot and gusty northwesterly winds of around 35- 45 km/h are predicted, with maximum temperatures in the low to mid 30s.

The Insurance Council says it is monitoring the fire and flood situations in both states.

A spokesman told insuranceNEWS.com.au that following the severe flooding in Far North Queensland, there have been reports that some properties have suffered damage.

Over the weekend some areas in the region received 400mm of rain in 24 hours, with Port Douglas and the Daintree areas the worst hit.

The Daintree River broke a 118-year floodwater record, peaking at 12.6m at midnight on Saturday, overtaking the previous record of 12.4m in 1901. It reached 10.5m during floods in 2014.

Power cuts were reported and the local ferry service was closed.
