There will be an independent probe of southeast Queensland's devastating floods and the government response, but the premier says it was an "extraordinary unprecedented weather event, the likes of which we've never seen before".
A man is missing and feared dead and another 13 people have died in the deluge, which peaked nine days ago, damaging thousands of homes and businesses from the Wide Bay to the NSW border.
Annastacia Palaszczuk said the disaster and the government's response will be independently probed by Disaster Management Queensland.
