Two more flood deaths as Australia's Queensland warns of severe storms
Widespread flash floods unleashed by heavy rain in Australia's northeastern state of Queensland have killed two people, including an emergency services volunteer, officials said on Saturday, taking the death toll to four.
 
Weather officials warned of a major flood, with severe storms expected to persist into Sunday, threatening to push waters in the state's major Mary river system beyond a level of 21.95 m (72 ft) not seen since 1999.
 
"This is going to exceed an event that hasn't happened in at least 20 to 25 years," Bureau of Meteorology forecaster David Grant told a briefing.
 
Two people were reported missing in the floodwaters.
