Residents rescued from rising floodwaters

Residents rescued from rising floodwaters.
RESIDENTS were rescued from homes and cars overnight as floodwaters and torrential rain caused widespread havoc on the Sunshine Coast and the Wide Bay regions north of Brisbane. Emergency Management Queensland spokesman Andy Christie said there were numerous calls for assistance but no widespread evacuations. 'There have been about 80 calls for assistance overnight through the Sunshine Coast area,' Mr Christie said. 'Most of the calls relate to water in homes and those type of flooding-type scenarios,' he said. SES volunteers had sandbagged some homes and Queensland Fire and Rescue Service had been called in to pump water out of houses, he said. 'There were also three rescues overnight - including two adults from a submerged car in Beddington Road at Doonan,' Mr Christie said. 'There were also a couple of rescues from houses and the people were dropped off at neighbours - so it was localised flooding.' 'The whole Sunshine Coast area has been affected.' The Bruce Highway was cut just north of Tiaro with trees down over powerlines, and police advised motorists not to drive over flooded roads.
