A South East Queensland family has been rescued from their home and taken to safety during a live cross on the TODAY show this morning.

TODAY journalist Jessica Millward was reporting live from Beaudesert when a family were brought to safety by SES crews.

An emergency alert has been issued for Beaudesert where the Logan River is expected to peak causing major flooding at approximately 7am AEST.

The family, including two daughters, a mother, and their pets, were rescued from their home after the Logan River broke its banks and began to flood their property.

“It was a bit scary,” one of the daughters admitted to Millward.

“We started seeing the Logan River at eye level…we realised it was at our front steps.”

The family were brought across floodwaters in a rescue raft by the SES, making it to safety just after 4.30am.

The two children were removed from the boat first, followed by their dog, Bo, and their mother.

“The creek just came up, broke the banks, came right up to the second or third (out of six steps) up to my house,” the mother said.

“(I) grabbed all my kids, fur babies, went to the shed to higher ground. (We were) there for a couple of hours and then rung emergency because I knew we weren’t going to get out.”

“Everything’s just under.”

The family explained their neighbours had taken shelter at their house as it was the highest on the street, but soon it also started filling with water.

The woman said she was “so happy, so relieved” when she was finally reunited with her other pets.

An SES crew member, who was returning to Beaudesert to rescue more people, said the situation was “very bad”.
