The Queensland floods have been the worst floods in Queensland since?
The current floods in Brisbane (May 2009) have been the worst since the floods in 1974. By the time the 1974 floods abated, four days after they set in, 16 people had died, 300 had been injured, and 9,000 people left homeless. Total cost of the damage, in 1974 values, was $200 million. Since the above was written, there have been more, major floods. Commencing in central Queensland around 10 December 2010, massive floods have moved across Queensland, inundating major centres such as Rockhampton, Emerald and Warwick, and many smaller towns such Mundubbera, St George, Theodore and Condamine in the worst known floods on record. River levels are not expected to go down until mid-January. On 11 January 2011, the Brisbane River broke its banks, with expectation that it will cause the worst floods in history, in terms of damage.

What was the weather like one month before the Queensland floods?
Australia had been coming out of an El Niño for some time prior to the Queensland floods, meaning that many parts of Queensland (and other parts of Australia) had seen gradually increasing rainfall. The rainfall recorded in September 2010 made it Australia's wettest month overall in 110 years. There was also a cyclone system which crossed the north Queensland coast at Christmas time, bringing excessive rainfall to north and central Queensland.
