This is far from the first time Brisbane and south-east Queensland have flooded, but every time is different and devastating in its own way.A blocking high has kept the low pressure trough pinned over south-east Queensland since mid-last weekSouth-east Queensland is expecting another night of rain as it slowly moves south into northern NSW
Usually weather systems travel across the country from the west to the east, but this trough and all its rain has been stuck over south-east Queensland for days now. Mr Browne said while there have been many transient small-scale lows, on Sunday a more substantial low formed."That convergence is driving thunderstorms which are delivering that intense rainfall, especially over the course of today but also to a lesser extent over the past two nights.
The Port Office gauge on the Brisbane River was sitting at moderate flood levels Sunday afternoon, but has since been raised to major. Of course, as was said at press conferences again and again today, this situation is different from the events of the past.
