The Brisbane River has broken its banks amid dire predictions of the biggest floods to hit Queensland's capital since 1974.

The weather bureau says the river is expected to reach major flood levels tomorrow afternoon and rise further on Thursday.

It is believed 9,000 homes will be inundated as floodwaters race towards the city.

Some areas have received up to 150 millimetres of rain in three hours.

Floods now cover over 1 Million Sq Kilometers (386,000 sq Miles). To put that in a little perspective for most redditors ... the size of Montana, New Mexico and Arizona combined .... or France and Germany combined.

aww wrx..
and that one silver car with the wing looked like it might be a z..
booo

TheWolf · 01-11-2011, 02:11 PM

I'd slap the idiots for not moving their cars.. "oh insurance is going to pay for it". There was a window there of a few minutes to save you ride. And Yes early 4wd trucks had manual locking hubs. You turned a knob to "engage" the hubs. My old blazer had those.

fckillerbee · 01-11-2011, 03:34 PM

wow....fucking sucks!

fuck that, insurance can pay for it. i wouldn't risk getting sucked into some crazy ass river full of floating cars to save my holden whatevermadore.

Hell ya! that would be dope.

But really that sucks for who ever owned them cars. Insurance checks are good, waiting and dealing with them isnt really worth the check after all is said and done.

maybe in australia insurance is cool. maybe you get a loaner kangaroo to ride around in until they settle your claim.

I thought it was a Supra, sounded like what she yelled in the background too. You might be right though.
