Record floods devastate eastern Australia

EXCERPT:

“Record-breaking floods carved a destructive path through eastern Australia on Friday, smothering homes in silt, washing out roads, and leaving 50,000 people stranded without access to help.

Four bodies have been recovered from the floodwaters engulfing parts of northern New South Wales — a fertile region of rivers and valleys about 400 kilometres (250 miles) north of Sydney.

Salvage crews began preparing a large-scale cleanup operation as the waters started to recede Friday morning, following an intense deluge that dumped half a year’s worth of rain in just three days.”
