Video: Australian flood sweeps away parking lot of cars
Filed under: Etc., Safety, Videos, Australia
Australian parking lot flood - Click above to watch video after the jump Australia is under assault by rain and undergoing one of its worst natural disasters in its history. Flood waters in the state of Queensland have ripped through numerous cities. Over 30 lives have been lost and many others are still missing. Homes are ruined and many more are at risk as the surge heads into Brisbane; Australia's third largest city. Damage estimates are already being pegged as high as $13 billion. One person was recently able to capture just how quickly a stream of water can turn into a raging river. Filming from the balcony of their Toowoomba office, the video recorder watched as water levels grew higher until they were high enough to begin picking up parked cars (including a hapless Subaru WRX STI) and carrying them away. Hop the jump to see the clip, which includes a bold SUV driver at around 1:10 that refuses to lose his 4x4 to the rising waters (note how he appears to take the time to lock the front hubs on his Nissan). Also, If you feel like helping out, Australia could certainly use it right now.

I would be gutted to see my STI going down the stream like that! Or worst to walk outside and see it gone!

When I was watching the ABC news channel the day all this was happening I saw 4 Fozies and 3 rexies either being swept away or sitting out in the middle of woop woop amongst debris.
On YouTube there's a few vids of subarus being swept away. Watch for all the cheap flood damaged cars pop up as insurance won't be covering most claims.
