Brisbane: Government is urging people to evacuate most parts of Australia’s third larger city, Brisbane, facing its worst flooding in the history.
At least 9 people were killed and 70 missing in heavy floods.
200,000 people have been affected by the floods, besides the flash floods have caused losses worth billions of dollars.
Cars have been streaming out of the city and office workers have been fleeing the main business district, while lower lying suburbs have already been inundated by water.
Rescue workers were giving sandbags to residents of the city as the floods are expected to peak on coming days while 65000 homes, businesses and other properties were likely to be flooded by Thursday.
Meanwhile Queensland’s- one of the most affected areas- Premier Anna Bligh urged people to prepare themselves: “For those who are living in some of the lower lying areas and the identified suburbs, now is the time to be making whatever preparations you can, and I would encourage you to be overly cautious.
