Australia Battles Devastating Floods: One Dead, Thousands Evacuated
Intense rainfall in northeast Australia has caused devastating flash floods, resulting in one fatality and widespread evacuations in towns like Ingham and Townsville. A woman drowned when a rescue boat capsized, highlighting the perilous conditions. Authorities have issued emergency alerts and evacuation orders for low-lying areas, warning of life-threatening floodwaters.
