UPDATED 1.07pm: Five people have been swept to their deaths in floodwater following a torrential downpour in southeast Queensland.

More than 277 millimetres of rain bucketed down in the Caboolture region north of Brisbane in less than three hours yesterday afternoon.

"That's where an eight-year-old boy, a man in his 70s and a woman in her 30s, were killed in the one car and a 49 year old man also lost his life there when his car was taken by water.

Fast moving waters also killed a 75-year-old man in a separate incident.
