If you haven’t already seen it, temporary flood maps of suburbs in Central Brisbane (those in the Brisbane City Council LGA) below. The BCC site is currently down. I’m not sure if any of the other Brisbane Councils and Shires have released any of the suburbs in their jurisdiction.

I hope no-one is affected too greatly. It's looking grim. I know West End is already flooding. There is a king tide coming today and it's expected that several central suburbs will be flooded by tomorrow.

How muchis that up?

Thanks Tak.

Well, where you see that yellow sign, there is actually a board walk below there. The level of the river in the photo is probably a good 4-5 metres above where it usually is.

wow... now I have to drive my car home from the City.... organised choas here at work with redundancy planning and everyone heading home to try and save their homes.

I'm gonna head home soonish and grab my skimboard to hit the local football fields :) woot.

^Avoid the storey bridge, its clogged.

I can confirm that walkway is now all the way under water.

^ Holy crap. I just got home via train, and boy was it good timing. It was the last train to my station - it actually terminated there due to flooding a little further down. Most of Milton and Auchenflower is flooding...

So I thought I'd go to Coles to grab some stuff in case services get cut off. I think everyone had the same idea. There was a traffic jam of cars lining up to get into the shops and when I finally got into Coles, it was packed with people and most of the shelves were already stripped bare. I was also part of the huge bushfires in 2003 that devasted Canberra, but this feels like it's on another level.

The Brisbane area (includes the western suburbs and the Ipswich region) has been declared a natural disaster zone.

yeah dude its crazy... no need for water though... just step outside, tilt head backwards and open mouth.

And whats worse is the flood is only going to get worse over the next 2 days..

Terrible :(

ok.. so no going to work tomorrow. They're cutting power to both of my Head Office Locations from 7am. Anyone working along Eagle Street don't bother. Power will pretty much be cut from maybe tonight till Saturday.

Its at times like these that I wish I wasn't working in IT and had remote access... this'd be a free day off.

Gympie....

This is incredible. I usually go for a run along the river through Toowong to the City. The foot and bike path that one would usually see is completely submerged. The river is usually at least a couple of meters below the foot path.







I took the photos at about 1800 today, and the river looked like it had risen by about 4m.

So I've been sitting here watching the river from Kangaroo Point, and all sorts of crap is flowing down the river. Pontoon after pontoon, some with boats, some with jetskis, some with chairs. I've even seen wheelie bins and sheds go through.

This will be the tell-tale sign....
