More rain has been forecast for the next few days as many homes and businesses in Logan City try to get life back on track despite the big wet.
As Deputy Mayor Jon Raven explains there are renewed warnings for motorists this morning.
“This really is a localised rain event which is creating some flash flooding. If you see water on the roads don’t drive through it – never drive through floodwaters because as we saw in Boxer Avenue the road can fail and if it’s covered in water you would have no idea what that looks like until you’re stuck in it”.
Seven News reporter Erin Edwards was in Shailer Park where the chunk of roadway is missing and she has said local residents are concerned.

” They’re really worried. They say there’s a natural waterway that runs from the top of Boxer Street. It used to run right through the road but when the housing estate was built they say that that waterway was interrupted and was funnelled into a pipeline that is about as wide as a car beneath this road
And a reminder from Logan City Council: Sandbags are available for collection at the Logan East SES Depot in Winnetts Road, Daisy Hill.
Yesterday, trains on the Beenleigh line were affected during the afternoon.
The wet weather’s been blamed for signalling faults.
