Rescue Efforts Intensify as Floodwaters Ravage Northern Australia

Severe thunderstorm warnings have been cancelled in Far North Queensland, but minor, moderate, and major flood warnings remain in place. Efforts to evacuate the flood-stricken community of Wujal Wujal will be made again after heavy rain hindered previous attempts. The region is assessing the extent of the damage caused by the floods, with some areas still isolated and lacking resources. River levels are falling, and the rain is easing, providing some relief. The search continues for an 85-year-old man missing in floodwaters. The Douglas Shire mayor has pleaded for more support from the state and federal government.
