"In his first briefing of the day, Premier Campbell Newman said "very significant" rain in the Laidley, Lockyer Creek and Bremer River catchments were recorded last night."
"He said the falls appeared to make it more likely flooding would occur in areas identified in flood maps released by the Brisbane and Ipswich City Councils yesterday."
"People should look at those maps, and they need to take action because I believe this morning they will be impacted in Ipswich and along the Brisbane River," Mr Newman said.
"The intensity or the speed of the rising (water) is not as bad as 2011."
"More will be known about the forecast flooding in southeast Queensland by this afternoon, and the Premier said forecast thunderstorms could also cause flash flooding in Brisbane." |
