Default SEQ Floods - are you prepared?

Hey All,

Call me an "end of the worlder" but given the sprinkles we have had, the waters on the way and the drizzle we can expect - ARE YOU PREPARED?

Like I said, call me an "end of worlder" but I have prepped my place for some reasonably possible eventualities.

I've stocked up on water - should our drinking water become contaimnated (ie, sewerage treatment plants flood and make their way into our catchment areas);
Stocked up on Milk & Bread;
Stocked up on Ice - if the power goes down for a reasonable period it'll be nice to keep the meat & dairy cold;
Stocked up on batteries - for the torches & radio;
Dug out my battery powered radio and checked it works;
Pulled torches & candles out in an easy to get to place;
Checked the drains and made sure water can escape;
Filled the cars with juice;
I also happen to have (through luck, not planning) a trailer full of dry sand, rolls of black plastic and a small stockpile of sandbags;

I'm hope I won't need any of it.... but better to be prepared ay? A good Scout was I

I've lived through floods before (remember Nyngan?) and the one thing you know will happen, is anything.

Fortunately for me I live on top of a hill, but that doesn't stop torrents of water flowing through my block and against the house. My thoughts are with those that are not quite so fortunate.

Take the opportunity, go down and grab some essentials and most of all - BE SAFE!!

Add your own preparations or ideas as you see fit.

Default Brisbane CBD ordered to evacuate?

Hearing reports according to the radio and a few friends I've got in the brisbane area that they are on evacuation orders. Friend has told me the river has risen a meter already!!!

To all AFF members in Brisbane hope you and your families are safe and can get out while you can! We are all thinking of you at this time

Stay safe guys!

The Bundamba Creek is over at Ipwsich road, the Bremar is about to go over the bridge at Brassal.
Ipswich Isolated

32 suburbs ordered out in Brisbane. Wivenhoe 170% and filling fast.

I posted this in the other thread


Just got an email from someone too, currently releasing 3000mL/s out of Wivenhoe, downstream starts flooding at 3500mL/s.

To keep up with inflow, they are gonna have to open them up to 4000-5000mL/s.

3,000,000L/s strains credulity at best...but either way I'm sure they are releasing a lot of water.

Yep, Free to get out of the carparks in brisbane, get your cars out and get to your homes.

PUt fuel in your cars, get food, and if your in a low area make sure you pack your important bits and pieces and stay with friends / family who live in safe high areas.

Tune into 612 ABC Brisbane for all alerts / updates.

Minden, Tarampa & Brightview reigon is well and truly under now. I hope anyone in these areas has safely escaped.

EDIT: Rain has now just increased dramatically and visibility has been cut in half. Strong winds also. I dearly hope no one is in the lower areas of this reigon.

This is the road that would be used to get to higher ground.

Raging floods bear down on Brisbane

Updated 12 minutes ago
A view of the Brisbane River overflowing from the inner-city suburb of West End.

The Brisbane River has broken its banks in West End. (User submitted: Jeff Polley)


The Brisbane River has broken its banks amid dire predictions of the biggest floods to hit Queensland's capital since 1974.

The weather bureau says the river is expected to reach major flood levels tomorrow afternoon and rise further on Thursday.

Water is also rising quickly in the Bremer River at Ipswich, west of Brisbane, where it is expected to peak close to 19 metres.

Police are preparing residents and business owners in the inner-city suburb of West End for the possibility of evacuations later today.

The Brisbane City Council says more than 200 homes and businesses along the river are at risk, most at Rocklea, Albion, Milton and Auchenflower.

Police are advising all residents in low-lying parts of Strathpine and Dayboro to the north of Brisbane to evacuate to higher ground immediately.

Caboolture is isolated so evacuation out of town by car is impossible. Police are saying that people in low-lying areas who can should move to higher ground or prepare for rising water.

* Suburbs at risk
* Current weather warnings
* Send us your flood photos
* Road closures
* In an emergency call the SES on 132 500
* Donate to the national flood appeal

The threat to Brisbane comes after an inland tsunami swept through Toowoomba and the Lockyer Valley yesterday, leaving eight people dead and more than 70 missing.

That wave of brown water is now making its way towards the Brisbane River and catchment areas, where the capital's defence of Wivenhoe Dam is struggling to hold back the deluge.

Officials have had to increase the amount of water being released from Wivenhoe because of major inflows coming from the Lockyer and Brisbane valleys.

The river has broken its banks in parts of West End and water is reportedly slowly creeping onto roads in low-lying areas there.

Buildings in Fortitude Valley and businesses at Eagle Street Pier in the city are also being evacuated.

The potentially looming disaster in the city is being made worse by cut and congested mobile phone lines, making communication difficult. Vodafone customers have been without reception for most of the morning.

People have been asked to stay off telephones unless absolutely necessary to avoid congesting lines for emergency services.

Ipswich mayor Paul Pisasale says water levels are rising quickly in the Bremer River.

"Our latest prediction is now that we've got the suburbs of Woodend and West Ipswich, One Mile, Redbank Plains, Churchill, North Booval, Booval, Bundamba, Karalee, Muirlea and Brassall... they're all under threat," he said.

"We're setting up emergency centres at the showground and other places at Goodna and Rosewood."

There also delays to public transport services in the Ipswich area because of rising floodwaters.

Staying dry

Jodie Craig, who owns the Joynt Hotel on Montague Road in West End, is trying to move belongings to the upper floors of the hotel.

"Up until last night I was freaking out a bit and then this morning I've just been watching the news and I guess I should start doing something," she said.

"I'm going to take all my electrical equipment and stuff that's worth a lot of money upstairs and hopefully it'll be safe up there."

Ms Craig says the ground floor of the hotel was completely submerged in the 1974 floods and she hopes the Wivenhoe Dam is enough to hold back the water this time.

She says she has been without phone reception for several hours and is unsure if police are wanting people to evacuate.

"The road's pretty busy. It's not like there's anyone in uniform telling us to leave," she said.

"I'm really clueless as to what's going on. People are just telling me West End's been told to evacuate. I really don't know. I'll just get my stuff up."

No insurance

Being so close to the river means Ms Craig is unable to get flood insurance.

"That's why I wanted to get all the stuff that's the most important to me," she said.

"I mean I'm not going to worry about furniture and things like that, there's not really much I can do."

Police say they have not ordered any evacuations of West End residents or businesses yet but with a high tide expected in just over two hours and a large volume of water still moving down the Brisbane River, that situation could change.

Police have stationed several officers along Riverside Drive between Orleigh Park and the Go Between Bridge at West End.

They are now turning back traffic trying to access Riverside Drive after the decision was made earlier today to close the road.

Translink says bus services have been suspended in the Caboolture, Redcliffe and Burpengary areas because of flooding.

Train services through to the Sunshine Coast are still running.

A telephone hotline - 1300 993 191 - has been set up for people seeking information on friends and relatives caught up in the flooding disaster.

Just heard on Sky that the Brisbane Airport has/is about to go under. Most of the building surrounding the airport have been evacuated.

This just keeps getting worse.

Not so far mate it depends on the logan river .. i cannot believe we are on a flood plain and the recent pipe work has been our saviour....

The real hassle here now is the roads becoming gridlocked ...

Just FYI to those that need to know - Brisbane CBD is NOT being evacd. This has come from the QPS. Also, public transport in the city is NOT closing down at 2pm either, please see local guides for more information.
