Thousands of people across Australia’s southeast were asked to evacuate their homes on Friday after two days of incessant rains triggered flash flooding and fast-moving waters burst river banks
Thousands of people across Australia’s southeast were asked to evacuate their homes on Friday, including some in Melbourne’s west, after two days of incessant rains triggered flash flooding and fast-moving waters burst river banks. Large parts of Victoria state, southern New South Wales and the northern regions of the island state of Tasmania were pounded by an intense weather system with some taking more than a month’s worth of rain since late Wednesday, officials said.
The Goulburn River at Seymour, about 100 km north of Melbourne, has peaked above the record 7.64 meters reached in May 1974, data showed. “It’s far from over, we’ll see waters rise,” Victoria Premier Daniel Andrews told the ABC. “We’ll see more and more waters continuing to rise, more and more houses being inundated, more and more communities being closed off.
