Toowoomba resident David Justum has had international media making deals with him since he posted footage of Toowoomba's East Creek swelling to a raging torrent on the internet.

We've been seeing some extraordinary images of the floods in Queensland.

One video that has been used on news bulletins all over Australia and internationally was filmed on a mobile phone looking out over a car park from an office building in Toowoomba.

You would have seen the images of a relatively peaceful carpark next to East Creek, and then the water rising to a raging river and pushing the cars downstream.

The footage was filmed by David Jutsum who says moments before he captured the footage he was chatting with the lady at the pie shop about how wonderful the rain was after last year's drought.

As he finished his lunch he watched the "tiny little creek" swell to a torrent in the space of minutes.

"I was watching it and watching it thinking I don't think it has been that level before and just grabbed my phone and started filming".

The video he posted on Youtube has Mr Justum and a work colleague commenting throughout at how horrified they are by what they are seeing.

"In front of my eyes I'm watching a small trickle transform into a most huge torrent of storming water that is washing cars aside, picking them up like matchbox cars and just throwing them down this incredible torrent".

Mr Justum posted the video before going to bed at midnight then the following morning was surprised to see it "go viral" as he was about to disseminate it to friends in Brisbane.

"And as I'm compiling the mail the video just starts to go viral on the internet it was just incredible".

The video has had more than two million views already.

Mr Justum has been busy talking to media the world over and doing deals for broadcast rights to his video, however he says any money he is offered is being redirected to relief efforts.

"In my heart I would feel horrible to profit from this tragedy that is going on".
