A man has died in Brisbane and Ipswich residents are on flood alert as the relentless downpour that has led to a flood emergency across south-east Queensland moves further south.The worst of the weather will likely hit Brisbane on SundayThe rain event has now led to the deaths of six people and cut over 1,000 roads is likely to intensify over Brisbane and the Gold Coast today.
Mr Schrinner tweeted that figure is an estimate only and included situations where water enters a residential yard — not necessarily a home — but he said people in low-lying areas should be prepared. "Wivenhoe Dam is working exactly how it's meant to, as a flood mitigation dam with controlled releases to keep the levels of water in the dam and in the river as steady as possible."
"Residents in low-lying areas should prepare to leave and warn others. Wivenhoe Dam releases commenced from 4am."Police will this morning continue the search for a missing yachtsman in his 70s who fell overboard from his vessel in the Brisbane River near the mouth of Breakfast Creek. "We would probably see Brisbane and the Gold Coast really copping it by the second half of tomorrow,'' she said.
"At the moment what we have is similar to like Cyclone Debbie or Cyclone Oswald or a monsoonal trough that we saw in Townsville where it's just sitting over the entire south-east of our state."Last night the Mary River at Gympie was at 22.06 metres and rising, making this the worst flood in the town since the 1880s.
