Summarize this content to 2000 words in 6 paragraphs Some more on yesterday’s wild weather: Rainfall records tumbled as storms battered the city, causing flash flooding and swamping cars.At Highvale near Samford, just north of Brisbane, 128 millimetres of rain fell yesterday. It was the highest December rainfall total in the area in 60 years, Weatherzone’s Brett Dutschke said.Meanwhile, more than 50 millimetres of rain was recorded in 30 minutes in Brisbane’s CBD. At Rosalie, 70 millimetres fell in an hour, while Holland Park West received 77 millimetres in the same period.Further south, Upper Springbrook on the Gold Coast recorded more than 260 millimetres of rain in 24 hours.“It fell very quickly,” Bureau of Meteorology’s Daniel Hayes said.“Given that we had a significant amount of rain the day before [Saturday] as well, and we’ve had a fair bit over the previous few weeks, pretty much everything that fell yesterday became run off and that did lead to that flash flooding that we saw.”Video footage showed water turning Brisbane’s Roma Street into a river while southern suburbs like East Brisbane and Stones Corner became lakes due to floodwaters.Firefighters were called to four water rescues: three for cars trapped in floodwaters and one for a person trapped in a kayak.
