Impact Brisbane Rowing shed in West End, Brisbane Brisbane River and Story Bridge in flood Flooding in Corinda Furthermore, around New Zealand, there existed an area of high pressure, which is an anti-clockwise rotating blocking high that obstructed the low pressure system from drifting away into the Tasman Sea. As the system headed south, it turned into an East Coast Low near the Central Coast and Sydney. The area of colder air higher in the atmosphere which the low-pressure system travelled in, thus making the atmosphere unstable and permitting moisture to be lifted up and falling as rain. The flooding was the result of a low pressure system over Queensland's southern coast that dragged in moisture from the Coral Sea in the north, raising it over the Queensland coastline. The rainfall recorded was higher than that of the 1974 Brisbane flood, with 30 locations across the south-east recording in excess of 1000 millimetres. Mount Glorious received in excess of 1,770 millimetres (70 in) of rainfall in the week until 28 February. In the three days to 28 February, greater Brisbane received 676.8 millimetres (26.65 in) of rainfall, the largest three, and seven, day total ever recorded in Brisbane. Rainfall of over 400 millimetres (16 in) was recorded across the greater Brisbane area. The flooding caused the ground across South East Queensland and Northern New South Wales to become saturated and vulnerable to even small amounts of rain. Food shortages were reported across the region, due to the ensuing supply chain crisis as well as affecting communities in outback Queensland. Throughout South East Queensland and the Wide Bay–Burnett, almost one thousand schools were closed in response to the flooding, evacuations took place and the public were advised to avoid non-essential travel. Twenty-two people are known to have died during the disaster. Brisbane suffered major flooding, along with the cities of Maryborough, Gympie, the Sunshine Coast, Caboolture, Toowoomba, Gatton, Ipswich, Logan City, the Gold Coast, Murwillumbah, Mullumbimby, Grafton, Byron Bay, Ballina, Lismore, the Central Coast and parts of Sydney.
