In Sydney Australia flash floods swept through an Australian city Monday, killing at least two people, trapping others in cars and leaving some clinging to trees as relentless rains brought more misery to a region battling its worst flooding in decades. The raging torrent of muddy water picked up cars and tossed them like toys, carried away furniture as it washed through stores and prompted scores of emergency calls as it swamped Toowoomba, a city of about 90,000 in Queensland state in the northeast. At least two people were killed, including one female pedestrian, Queensland Fire and Rescue Service Assistant Commissioner Tom Dawson said. Reuters earlier reported that five people have been confirmed killed.
This is a really devastating article because of all the flooding that is going on in Australia. A lot of the farm land in Austraila are in low laying areas and in valleys and along rivers and stuff that so if there is a lot of flooding at the wrong time of year there will also be a lot of crops. It is very sad that they lost two people and trappng other people in car and leaving some people that are clinging to trees. Some people are in more misery due to these flooding conditions.
