Summary
With the water level rising, about 10,827 other properties are in danger of being partially submerged. Adrian Screener, Lord Mayor of Brisbane, said the floods this time were different from those of 2011, as the region had received five days of rain, while the rain had stopped several days before the Brisbane River surged in 2011.
Several areas have been submerged after heavy rain in Brisbane, Australia. So far eight people have died due to floods in the areas of the east coast. This is the worst flood in Brisbane and its surrounding areas since 2011. Torrential rains that year caused a city with a population of 2.6 million to be submerged in inundation and it was described as an event of a century.
Queensland State Police said a 50-year-old man was drowning in floodwaters in the city of Gold Coast, south of Brisbane, on Monday while he was traveling in his car. His body was recovered a few hours later from the submerged car. In Brisbane, a 59-year-old man drowned while trying to cross a small river on foot.
In parts of the city of Gold Coast, a warning of deadly flooding has been issued in southern Brisbane, advising people to move to a safer place. The area has lost contact with many areas. All eight deaths due to floods occurred in the state of Queensland, whose capital is Brisbane. As of Monday, 2,145 homes and 2,356 shops were submerged in Brisbane’s suburbs.
