Ipswich flood begins as river breaks banks

Written By Unknown on Senin, 28 Januari 2013 | 11.25

THE Bremer River has broken its banks at Ipswich and businesses are beginning to flood, Mayor Paul Pisasale says.

"This is the start of our emotional pummelling," Mr Pisasale told AAP on Monday afternoon.

He said there was already water through one carpet business in the CBD and evacuations had started.

He said about 350 properties were expected to flood as the river heads towards the first of a number of peaks.

A 15-metre flood peak is expected in Ipswich about 6pm (AEST) on Monday night.

Mr Pisasale said residents, still traumatised by the 2011 flood, were leaving their homes even when they did not need to.

The city was not expected to experience the damage that happened two years ago.

"We are a city in very emotional stress at the moment," he said.

"We'll survive, but I tell you what, it does get to you."
