These floods are getting out of hand!

How did these people not get a few minutes warning to move their cars and prevent them from becoming missiles in the flood waters.

My heart is out for the many missing and already lost to this nightmare.

I hope no lives are lost due in WA to our ever keen ***kwit arsonists. But in this situation, who can you blame?

Ohh the humanity (and also poor cars)

Sorry, didn't see that. (I never check the news section)

Do I need to delete the thread or something?

It is insane, I saw the STI, that's why I came to post.

I thought the guy in the Patrol was just locking his Hubs. (Letting the air out seems a bit stupid.) Why muck about with an umbrella too - GET IN + GET OUT!

I wonder what is in store for Brisbane....

:O !!!!!!!!!!!! Is that a rex @ 0:55 ?!?!?! pretty sure its a black peanut with a sti wing ?!

Looks bugalicious to me 'going off the tail lights'.

sigh thats horrible... ^^^^ yeah thats a buggy alright... gold rims... sti too ?

They are flash floods, the water level rose like that in only a couple of minutes. By the time you would have told people to move their cars, it would have been too dangerous to do so.

Exactly.

Even the bloke going down and moving his 4WD was very dangerous...the car was starting to move while he was in it....only reason it didn't start flaoting more was because there were a few cars up river by 3/4 meters breaking some of the current.

Very dangerous situation...doesn't take alot of water to move objects when the current is so strong.

Its a fucken a car, it can be replaced. Its not worth your life.

Yeah, that's fair enough if it's only a few minutes. I thought by the cuts in the video it was more like 10 mins or so.

I suppose it comes down to assessing the danger and either save some cars or flee (The man with the Patrol was risking it - you don't know what is coming down that river, but if it was your highly tuned STI etc?).

I remember years ago the fire station here always used to do an emergency broadcast test over a massive loudspeaker with a siren and a voice message. Haven't heard it for years. It was like in Seoul or Sydney with their alert system.

I do believe everyone is doing their best, but I thought there would be more alert systems in place, river height sensors, even helicopters/personnel from the army or government giving people some audible warning.

Not everyone is hooked to the radio, TV or Internet. Surely this surge was known to the authorities. Maybe weather interfered - I think I've watched too many BullS**t movies and this is just real life.

Good old fashioned air raid sirens with a message is maybe what people need to stand to attention (or panic). Brisbane is getting plenty of warning.

Good luck to everyone affected and keep your eye out for our own state's bloody ARSONISTS (Will take flood over Fire anyday)!
