Australian floods

Stranged wallaghby

At least four people have died and thousands more have been displaced across Australias east coast as punishing winds torrential rains and powerful ocean swells inundated large swaths of the countrys two most populous states. The storm  which has unleashed floods from north of Brisbane in Queensland  to Sydney over 900 kilometers south in New South Wales and beyond is the result of a slow but very wet thing of rain down the coast by the remains of Tropical Cyclone Oswald that began last week. The system has dumped record amounts of rain in many areas closing of dozens of communities and snarling traffic both in the air and on land. The wierdest part about the floods is that australia has been in a 4 month heat wave that has made bush fires that can be seen by space.
