Not sure if most aware, Queensland Australia has had a bit of rain over the last 3 weeks.

North Queensland has had most of the rain within the last 2 and half weeks, but last night or yesterday arvo South East Queensland cop it big time.

Toowoomba and lockyer valley in particular.

You need to watch hows fast this water grows

Now this water his heading Brisbane way, what most do not know is the dams are full, and they have to let the water out, before the dams overflow.

Please note i am on high ground but many are not.

Holy CRAP!!!! I'm sure I saw a Subaru in the water there. Ohh dear

Now, What the heck were they thinking? did they not realized that it wasn't a good idea to leave the car parked near the canal???

lol...Why don't they just build Dams.

This is not a Canal, it is a creek, and it is no more than a meter wide at the best of times,

No the dams are full, they have to release the water, the Wivenhoe dam in the pic below is at 200 % capacity, Yes 100% over full

Currently it is releasing enough water each hour to fill Sydney harbor twice.

Then why don't they build more Dams. So that this doesn't happen...

Just looked it up on the BBC News website.
