Amazing story of girl sitting on car as it was swept away, she was saved seconds before the car was going to be funneled under a railway tunnel by a man who grabbed her off the car by leaning over the bridge.
As of Wednesday morning 90 people are reported missing, some of these are entire families who were swept away sheltering inside their homes which were swept off their stumps in Grantham and Murphy's Creek.
A particularly distressing scene was recorded by a commercial news chopper, of a family in a small sedan completely surrounded by fast moving, meter high water near Grantham, with not a patch of dry land in sight.
The news crew flew to pickup an emergency worker but when they returned to the scene there was no sign of the car or its occupants.
