Two people have been rescued from flood waters, as water authorities in Queensland release water from dams to manage the impact from multiple bouts of wet weather.
Weatherzone meteorologist Ben Domensino said it was a wet start to the week in southeast and eastern Queensland, causing flooding concerns and hampering the cricket Test match between Australia and India at the Gabba.
