If this is a reference to the January 2011 floods in eastern Australia, the death toll stands at 22, as of January 31.
During Australia's history of European settlement, hundreds of people have died in Australia because of floods, but the figures have not been anywhere as high as in some parts of the world.
The 2010-2011 Queensland floods killed 35 people, from January, 9 extra people have also been reported missing.
Current deaths, as of 15 January, are 16 dead and 21 missing. Injuries have not been documented yet.
There were many tornadoes in 1974. Perhaps you are referring to the Super Outbreak of April 1974. That was not a single tornado but a series of 148 tornadoes. 317 people died in that event.
16 people were killed in the 1974 floods in Brisbane, Queensland.
35 and 9 went missing
In the 2011 flood in Australia, 22 people died.
so far around 1100 :/ 20 million affected :/

Cyclone Wanda itself caused no deaths. It was a relatively low-category cyclone (the actual category does not seem to be recorded anywhere) but its beiggest claim to fame was the amount of rain it dumped on the Brisbane catchment area, contributing significantly to the Brisbane floods of January 1974. These floods resulted in 14 deaths.
Major floods in Australia's history include: * Gundagai floods (Murrumbidgee River), June 1852: 89 people were killed and the old town of Gundagai swept away * Brisbane floods, January 1974: 16 people died, 300 were injured, and 9,000 people left homeless. Total cost of the damage, in 1974 values, was $200 million. * Hunter Valley floods, February 1955: 25 people were killed
In the Brisbane 1974 floods, 16 people died, 300 were injured, and 9,000 people were left homeless.
The current floods in Brisbane (May 2009) have been the worst since the floods in 1974. By the time the 1974 floods abated, four days after they set in, 16 people had died, 300 had been injured, and 9,000 people left homeless. Total cost of the damage, in 1974 values, was $200 million. Since the above was written, there have been more, major floods. Commencing in central Queensland around 10 December 2010, massive floods have moved across Queensland, inundating major centres such as Rockhampton, Emerald and Warwick, and many smaller towns such Mundubbera, St George, Theodore and Condamine in the worst known floods on record. River levels are not expected to go down until mid-January. On 11 January 2011, the Brisbane River broke its banks, with expectation that it will cause the worst floods in history, in terms of damage.
Lots of people were killed in the 1974 floods the number was at the least 60% died in cars when the flood hit and 16 and over people died. (For more info) Floods can cause cyclones and that is how the flood was a really big one cause the force pushes the water fast and it turns into a flood. It does not have to be a cyclone it just has to rain a lot then strong winds out in sea and a flood begins. About 34 people were killed. Let them Rest In Peace (R.I.P) Natalie! (Natalie Kate Roberts)
