Up to four feared missing in QLD floods

Authorities are concerned up to four people missing across Queensland may have fallen victim to floodwaters.

Queensland State Disaster Coordinator Deputy Commissioner Stephen Gollschewski said desperate searches were now underway.

“We currently have four people missing about whom we have serious concerns and have deployed significant resources of emergency services to search for those persons,” he said.

The searches come as Logan braces for a second wave of flooding on Saturday afternoon.

The Logan River is expected to peak at about 10.5 metres at Waterford West on Saturday afternoon, in what mayor Luke Smith says will be the biggest flood in the area in more than 40 years.

“That’s higher than we saw in 2013 and 2011 and it’s getting very very close to that 1974 mark,” he told ABC Radio.
