Flood warnings for Queensland as heavy rain smashes region | 9 News Australia

Where is the premier? Doesn’t he care about Queenslanders like labor premiers do?

The forecast rainfall will produce extremely LIFE-THREATENING and HISTORIC flooding for Townsville and surrounds.

That's not a heat wave, that's normal for Summer. Heaps of rain up our way though.

we in monsoon season folks u tell same stories as last yr yr before townsville flooding cairns is flooding mackay is flooding duh 🙄🥱😴

There hasn't been any damaging cyclones to hit Queensland for many years that i can remember , correct me if i'm wrong .

The tutles knew this was going to happen,they were building their nests higher up than usual months ago

Well well nine now allows comments 😂😂😂😂your ratings must be bad … No One watches fake mainstream media

i live in Ingham and BOM was way to slow to issue warnings for this rain event. other independent weather forecasters prodicted and warned us a week ago, Bom gave us less then 24 hours warning so please have this looked into and ask some question because people of this region were left in the unknown

Come on, we are copping it in Mackay too. Do not go north

Be safe my Maroons fams

Take care, from Darwin.

Ah , North Queensland , beautiful one day , Perfect the next . The heat is gone the rain is here . The wet season , the rivers & streams are running a banker , the gentle rain falling , the farmers & primary producers are smiling . Beautiful tropics . Why would you want to live anywhere else in Australia 🇦🇺 ?? . You have a nice day and a cold beer 🍺 or a Moscato light & refreshing wine 🍷 tonight . Wouldn’t be dead for quids .

😢 God speed to help one another to protect lives and livelihood.Stay safe all.

But yes Brisbane is ok . Everyone no stress up north ok . Brisbane is safe. There roads are open and able to get food in.

Weather manipulation technology

I blame Trump

The BOM were slow to call this but also some of these weather Pages on FB looking at you "Wally's Weather" were initially saying "oh we don't want to scare anybody like other weather Pages it's just a low nothing to worry about" …as soon as the low formed North Queenslanders should have been preparing, I feel sorry for the southerners who moved up here and have been caught out unprepared because they listened to these Page more worried about "scaring" them than preparing them.

Stay away from the gold coast

Gee! I hope these once in one hundred year events stop becoming a yearly event.

And they said it would never rain much again and dams wouldnt be full.

Thats been comprehensively disproven.

Oh BS! This happens every year and these muppets spout the same BS year after year. Building on a flood plain, covering it with McMansions with tiny drains. Then all the creeks and natural runoffs are covered in roads and concrete. That's why it floods. It's part of living in a sub-tropical region.

Townsville flood is getting bigger. Im a local

Natural disasters are becoming more severe

I remember when Al Gore came to Australia 20 or so years ago and told us in the next few years the Aust coast was going to dry up and we wouldn't be get any more rain 🤔

Lord Jesus we pray for your mercy your merciful poet & protection in all these affected areas due to heavy rain & flooded . Through Christ our Lord .Amen 🙏🙏🙏

I love you Abbey

so it's not a good time to visit the whitsundays, right ?

Just remind me this is the tropics so we expect this
This is the WET season it’s never been any different
When we were kids all the houses were elevated on platforms because of the flooding
