The dams are spilling, the ground is sodden, and more is rain on the way for parts of Queensland, so is it time to fear another major flood event? Flood expert Margaret Cook, from Griffith University's Australian Rivers Institute, suggests keeping an eye out for the ants and snakes in your area because if they start moving to higher ground, you should too, and quickly.
