A six-year-old diabetic girl is in desperate need of life-saving insulin after her southeast Queensland home was completely cut off by severe flooding.

The young girl is trapped with her family at an isolated Jimboomba property which paramedics are unable to reach.

Medical authorities are considering air-dropping the insulin to her in a last-ditch attempt to deliver her the medication.

Extreme flooding in the aftermath of Cyclone Debbie has stranded hundreds of families across Queensland as heavy inundation cuts off major roads.

Floodwater has surrounded over 100 low-lying homes in Logan as the Logan and Albert Rivers swell to unprecedented levels.

Logan River catchment areas are on high alert over the next 24 hours and evacuations began on Friday morning.

'We've never seen this kind of inundation we've had right now in the Albert River catchment,' Logan City mayor Luke Smith said, the Courier Mail reports.

Jimboomba locals have shared shocking images of the rising floodwater on social media as homes across the area are swamped.

A Coles Shell petrol station has also been completely isolated by the dirty floodwater which rose rapidly by the minute.

At 1am Friday, Queensland police urged residents of Beaudesert in southeast Queensland to warn neighbours, secure belongings and move to higher ground as it was hit by record flooding and the Logan River continued to rise.

Around 630 power lines were also affected by Thursday's extreme weather in Queensland's southeast.
