"Devastating Floods and Crocodile Encounters: Queensland's Battle with Extreme Weather"

The heavy rain, which surpassed 60 inches in some areas, has caused widespread rescues and threatened drinking water supplies. The rainfall may have set all-time records in Australia for its intensity and duration. Recovery efforts are underway, but additional heavy rainfall is projected, which could worsen the flooding.
