Flash: flood forecast

Flash answers one question: will water reach my street, and when? It reads the rain on the Bureau's radar every ten minutes and runs it over a model of south-east Queensland's streets, drains and creeks: a neural network trained on tens of thousands of physics simulations, over Queensland Government LiDAR and the councils' drainage. The result is a map of where water is forecast to gather over the next two hours, street by street. LIVE MAP See rain on the radar and water on the ground across greater Brisbane, the Gold Coast, the Sunshine Coast, Logan, Ipswich, Moreton Bay, Redland, Toowoomba, Noosa, Somerset, Scenic Rim and the Lockyer Valley. CHECK AN ADDRESS Search any address for the forecast depth at the door and on the roads nearby, now and in a 20, 60 or 100 mm storm. ALERTS Subscribers get a notification when water is forecast at the addresses they watch: home, work, the school, the parents' place. Choose the depth that matters to you, from water on the kerb to water over the road. Flash is indicative, not an official warning. It can be wrong, late or missed. Always check Bureau of Meteorology and council warnings, and never drive or walk into floodwater. Flash is made in Brisbane by Cavalry, flood engineers who have modelled Queensland catchments for councils and developers for years. The app is free.
