Yes they did, and as a result the Wivenhoe Dam was built as a safety valve to hold the water.
This dam is currently working at something like almost double its capacity, and there are great fears that the dam may actually burst.......this would be disastrous.
(I don't think it really needs saying does it?)
Toowoomba, close to where the dam is situated, is something like 700 metres above sea level....so it is not used to being flooded like this...but the floods are the result of a flash storm.
We just have to sit and wait......so far, I know my sister is Ok....but her home may not be.....if she can get home that is.
