South East Queensland’s wild weather is expected to continue this afternoon with rain and a possible thunderstorm as an elderly woman was killed last night in floodwaters in Brisbane’s outer west.

Emergency services took three hours to locate the 75 year old and her car due to the flooding.

The Bureau Of Meteorology has predicted a 50-60 percent chance of any rain across Brisbane City across the next two days as hundreds of Gold Coast residents were left without power yesterday.

It comes off the back of very wet weeks that have caused damage and localized flooding across the South East whilst providing drought relief to regional areas of the state.

The rain is set to not only dampen the River City but is also set to dampen Australia’s efforts in the Ashes at the Gabba, as the game yesterday was halted as a result of inclement weather.
