‘Simply because your community has not flooded in the past does not mean it will not flood over the course of this week \u2026 we would expect things to get worse over this period of time.’\u00a0<\/p>\n

State Emergency Service commissioner Carlene York said even with the best forecasting, it was hard to tell which areas would be worst hit.<\/p>\n

‘The issues with these types of east coast lows is that it just depends where it goes – how close to the coast and what path it travels.And then the unknown is where it will actually drop the heaviest rainfall,’ she told the .\u00a0<\/p>\n

After floods inundated at least 20,000 homes in Brisbane over the weekend, Lismore in northern NSW was the next major centre to be slammed by the disaster.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The entire Lismore CBD was underwater on Monday after days of heavy rain that led to the Wilsons River breaching its levee overnight, with roads cut off.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Some residents resorted to cutting holes in the corrugated iron roof of their homes so they could climb out to be rescued – with the water above doors and windows.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Waters in Lismore were receding on Monday after peaking at 14.4m.\u00a0The Brisbane River was also falling with the tide after peaking at 3.5m, but is expected to reach 3.7m on Monday morning.<\/p>\n

BoM has warned that flooding could continue to plague Brisbane and the surrounds throughout the week, with persistant showers hitting Wednesday and continuing into the weekend.\u00a0<\/p>\n
