St Lucia Ferry Terminal under water, Brisbane Flood, 12 Jan 11

The Ferry Terminal at St Lucia is underwater as the flood waters are due to peak during tonight and tomorrow. Taken at about 1:30pm wed 12 Jan 11. Some of the high rise buildings here have lower levels flooded. I heard on the news a few minutes ago that an apartment building at St Lucia has trapped residents after the elevator shaft flooded (but don't know which if any in this vid).

Hi, I want to rent a home in Mcquarie street st Lucia, but I consider about flood ....Do you think a unit on ground floor at Mcquarie street is a safe place to live?

@aashetorsh That whole area was flooded (Macquarie St is right next to the river). However, another major flood soon is unlikely. There was a 36 year gap between the last one and the one this year. Just check it out first because I've heard through friends that the smell in some houses hasn't gone yet.

I used to live at Brisbane St. and Carmody Rd. in St. Lucia, but the apartment building was up on a hill. Do you know if it's been affected by the flooding?

@sbranco12 Not sure if the flood went that far back - it flooded parts of Qld Uni (near the river, like its oval).

@uberjum I'm going to film it again in the morning if I can - after the peak which I hope is lower than expected!

@nbrazier92 Guyatt Park.

Is this Guyatt Park or the University terminal?
