Parts of Australia’s third-most populous city Brisbane are under water after heavy rain brought record flooding to some east coast areas and killed seven people.
Boats and other debris are seen washed into the Milton ferry terminal on the Brisbane River in Brisbane, Australia, Monday, Feb. 28, 2022. Heavy rain is bringing record flooding to some east coast areas and claimed seven lives while the flooding in Brisbane, a population of 2.6 million, and its surrounds is the worst since 2011 when the city was inundated by what was described as a once-in-a-century event.
Queensland emergency services warned life-threatening flash flooding was occurring south of Brisbane in parts of Gold Coast city. Multiple emergency flood alerts were in place for Brisbane suburbs, where 2,145 homes and 2,356 businesses were submerged or would become so Monday as the waters rose. Another 10,827 properties will be partially flooded above the floorboards.
Queensland Transport Minister Mark Bailey said major roads had been cut. Train and ferry services across Brisbane have been halted, he said.“We’re going to have localized flooding in a lot of areas for a couple of days yet,” Bailey said.
