editThe Queensland floods affected places as far as Coober Pedy and Northern NSW. only 14 fatalities occured, thanks to the quick response from flood mitigation services.Cyclone Wanda triggered an air mass over Brisbane into intense rainfall. By R.Cario
the numbers of houses damaged is listed in the article twice - both with different values. Both values are incorrect, refer to this page (Emergency Management Australia - AusGov site) http://www.ema.gov.au/ema/emadisasters.nsf/9d804be3fb07ff5cca256d1100189e22/a6a4dce286660b23ca256d3300057baf?OpenDocument

- Regarding the number of homes that experienced flooding, I found this EMA page which says 13,00 homes. I have another source that says 14,000. McBride, Frank; et al. (2009). Brisbane 150 Stories. Brisbane City Council Publication. pp. 256–257. ISBN 978-1-875091-60-7.

1974 Brisbane flood → Cyclone Wanda – The storm that caused the flooding was named Wanda. Usually storm articles get the name for an article if they were named. ♫ Hurricanehink (talk) 06:10, 10 March 2025 (UTC)
- Also, if it were to get moved, the Corinda landslip could also get merged there. ♫ Hurricanehink (talk) 06:11, 10 March 2025 (UTC)
- Support - The idea seems to make sense.Jason Rees (talk) 14:50, 18 March 2025 (UTC)
