Lockyer Valley hammered by "inland tsunami"

The Lockyer Valley has been decimated after an eight metre "inland tsunami" swept through Toowoomba and then down the range on Monday and Tuesday.

The Lockyer Creek reached a record peak of 18.93m at Gatton on Monday night before the gauge failed, but waters continued to rise on Tuesday as the creek caused a wave of destruction through the region. Many roads have been destroyed.
