Pretty serious flooding in Queensland. Apparently it's the worst in recorded history, according to the premier.
Quote:
The Brisbane River, which cuts through the city center, was expected to rise beyond the record set in 1974 when it broke its banks, flooding more than 6,000 homes and killing 14 people.
This time, models predict that 19,700 homes will be "completely flooded" in Brisbane, which is home to more than 1 million people, and another 4,000 homes are likely to be affected in Ipswich, said Queensland Premier Anna Bligh.
"We are preparing for the worst natural disaster in our history," she said.
