Continuous Floods Hit Australia

For these pass few days, as we open the newspapers to read, we find that the international news that has been spoken mostly about is the current floods that is happening in Australia.
It all started with the continuous heavy rain that prompted new flood warnings in Australia. Four states had flood warnings due to overflowing rivers and rain. In Brisband, the water has receded leaving behind a thick, putrid sludge. Homes on the other hand were swamped to waist height as waters swept through the southeast. Besides that, rising waters spilled into the streets of Horsham's town centre as the swallon Wimmera River inched towards its peak dividing the town of 14, 200 and cutting power to thousands oh homes in a once-in-200-year event.
More than 50 villages in southeastern Victoria state have been swamped following heavy rains linked to an especially strong La Nina weather pattern also unleashed record flooding in the nothern Queensland region. The flooding in Victoria follows weeks of massive flooding in nothern Queensland which swamped two-thirds of the giant state, paralyzed several mines and left 30people dead. I think that the Australian have to take careful precaution steps, and those houses who have been affected should move out to a safer place for the better. It is also good to know other members are willing to help out in the terrible floods in Australia.
