Description

Brisbane, Australia's third-largest city, is bracing for massive flooding amid rising river levels and heavy rains.

The Brisbane river is expected to rise 5.5 metres above its normal level by Thursday.

Tens of thousands of residents have been asked to move out after sandbagging their homes and stockpiling food.
