celinerulz91 Posted January 12, 2011 at 12:28 AM Posted January 12, 2011 at 12:28 AM "Brisbane is facing its worst flooding in more than 100 years, with officials warning almost 20,000 homes in the city will be flooded by early tomorrow morning.The Queensland capital is bracing for once-in-a-generation flooding which has already claimed the lives of 10 people, including 5 children.The floods have already covered an area bigger than France and Germany combined.The river is now expected to peak today at 20.5 metres.About 56,000 homes are without power in south-east Queensland.More than 1,400 people spent the night at evacuation centres.Deputy Police Commissioner Ian Stewart says the number of people missing has jumped to more than 90. "We've got on our list... it's a growing list and it's 90-plus," he said. Search and rescue teams will go to Grantham and Murphy's Creek to begin the grim task of searching destroyed properties for bodies. Ms Bligh says it is going to be a very hard day for the community."Families who are still holding out hope some of them are likely to have their hopes tragically crushed," she said."So I think it's going to be a tough and emotional day in the Lockyer Valley as those search and rescue teams get in there for the first time.""

Jacqui Posted January 12, 2011 at 07:38 AM Posted January 12, 2011 at 07:38 AM I don't even know what to say. Usually we're worrying about bushfires at this time of year, not floods... What state are you in btw? Hope you're safe. Quote
