BoM has warned of a dangerous and potentially life-threatening situation for the south east today and into the next 48 hours.
A spokesperson said any rain that falls would renew river rises, and creeks would rise very quickly.
Premier Annastacia Palaszczuk said it was a very concerning time.
"These are unprecedented times," she said in a press conference.
"I have lived in Brisbane all my life and I haven't seen storms and floods like this all being thrown at us at once."

As a precaution, parents should be collecting children from school when it is safe to do so.
