In 2011,the tsunami hit Australia again. Deadly tsunami that have cut a swath across northeastern Australia flowed onto the streets of the nation's third-largest city Brisbane, Australia on Wednesday, forcing people to flee suburbs and skyscrapers as rescuers elsewhere searched for 67 people still missing.

Leroy Shephard, a resident of the town of Grantham, was inside his home when the tsunami hit. He and his family were on the roof of his house for five hours waiting for the waters to drop. "You could feel the whole house just pop up off its stumps, turn around, and go — for a 100 meters (330 feet) or something down my backyard," Shephard told Australian Broadcasting Corp.
Emergency services picked up over 40 people from homes isolated by the torrent that hit Lockyer Valley. The entire population of the small community of Forest Hill was airlifted to safety in military helicopters.
Queensland Premier Anna Bligh stated that the bad weather was easing and that searching would be easier Wednesday. Bligh stated that the cost of repairs after the floods could be as high as $5 billion.
