Saw the tv footage last night up there.......so sorry for you guys, is it now 8 dead? It looked as though the area wasn't warned by the SES/weather bureau as so much was affected. Toowoomba hadn't been mentioned at all as being in the flood zone in the media.
Here in Nthn NSW we've been hammered by authorities to expect major flooding but we've only had minor problems.....so hard to predict the exact location of the rain cells i guess.
Sincere wishes getting over the devestastion
