Overnight rainfall wreaks havoc, causes road closures
Clifton has found itself cut off from Toowoomba this morning, Thursday 3 March, following a heavy downpour overnight that has seen waterways rapidly rise over roads.
Many residents were woken up at about 2:30am to the sounds of a terrific storm that did not stop until 6am.
Clifton recorded 70mm of rain overnight and there were reports of properties towards Pilton that recorded around the 100mm mark.
The effect of this rain has been compounded by the excessive rainfall over last weekend which the ground is still very much saturated from.

Greenmount Etonvale Road, Greenmount
