Brisbane, Australia (CNN) -- Brisbane awoke Wednesday to sunny, clear skies amid renewed warnings that a wave of water was sweeping through the city's main river system, threatening to exceed the damage done by the record 1974 floods.

The Brisbane River, which cuts through the city center, was expected to rise another 2 meters at high tide Wednesday afternoon before peaking at 4 a.m. Thursday at more than five meters.

"We are preparing for the worst natural disaster in our history," said Queensland Premier Anna Bligh. Models predict that 19,700 homes will be "completely flooded" in Brisbane, which is home to more than 1 million residents and another 4,000 homes are likely to be affected in Ipswich, she said.

The river is expected to rise beyond the records set in 1974 when it broke its banks, flooding more than 6,000 homes and killing 14 people.
