Brisbane, Australia, 2Parts of Australia’s third-most populous city Brisbane were under water today after heavy rains brought record flooding to some east coast areas and killed eight people.

The flooding in Brisbane and its surrounds is the worst since 2011 when the city of 2.6 million people was inundated by what was described as a once-in-a-century event.

Queensland emergency services warned life-threatening flash flooding was occurring in parts of Gold Coast.
