Australia Floods LIVE: Deadly Flood In Australia; 1 Dead, Thousands Evacuated As Floodwater Rises
Australian authorities on Sunday (February 2) confirmed that one person had died and urged thousands of people in north Queensland state to move to higher ground due to flooding caused by torrential rains. Police confirmed that a member of the public had died after a State Emergency Service vessel capsized. Five people were rescued from the vessel. The flooding was triggered by heavy rain from a low pressure system rich in tropical moisture, Australia’s weather forecaster said on its website, adding that 24-hour rainfall totals were likely up to 300 mm (11.8 inches). Frequent flooding has hit Australia’s east in recent years including "once in a century" floods that inundated neighbouring Northern Territory in January 2023 during a multi-year La Nina weather event.
