South-East Queensland on flood watch as state braces for intense rain, strong winds and wild surf this weekend

ABC  

The Bureau of Meteorology has issued an Initial Flood Watch for South-East Queensland as the state braces for a significant rainfall event that is likely to bring intense falls and wild surf over the weekend. 'Abnormally high tides, dangerous surf' Senior forecaster Laura Boekel said it was the "first significant rainfall for that area for this season". "We're expecting abnormally high tides as well as dangerous surf, so that can lead to coastal erosion in coastal areas as well as low-lying, in-land areas," she said. Ms Boekel said South-East Queensland's rain will stick mainly around the coast, but there are other weather systems likely to bring rain.
