As you should be aware, the current flood warnings in Queensland make this country's plight somewhat small in comparison.
The flood area is estimated to be about the size of Germany and France combined (for US citizens - the size of Texas), with the waters moving at around 10-15 miles per hour in an esterly direction towards the sea.
Some areas have been submerged by waters as deep as 8 metres, and with the additional rain in the past two days, the towns near the sea are expected to get deluged by an even larger head of water between Monday afternoon and Tuesday morning - Australia time.
Many webcams are already offline owing to power outages and submergence, however a few are operating in areas not yet hit.
Rockhampton airport cam should be online in about five hours time as the sun comes up, but the airport has closed to all domestic in the past six hours in preparation for the rise in water.
