Floods, road closures in Australia as storms lash some bushfire-hit regions

MELBOURNE - Parts of Australia’s east coast were hit by severe storms on Saturday, dousing some of the bushfires that have devastated the region for months but causing road closures and flash flooding.

Victoria, New South Wales and Queensland, three of the states most hit by drought and bushfires, are now dealing with rain bucketing down in several areas. New South Wales fire services welcomed the rain, which they said on Twitter would help to control the 75 fires burning in the state, of which 25 are yet to be contained. But, they also said that some firegrounds have not seen any rain yet.

That's an example of what 'climate change 'means: CLIMATE EXTREMIZATION, not 'global warming' as many silly people think. From too hot to too cold, from droughts to floods, cold where it was hot, hot where usually cold, more (sudden) violent weather events, etc. ClimateChange

Wow, from one extreme to the other.

Perfect fire brake!

Schwimmen ist immerhin besser als verbrennen. Aber auch Überschwemmungen sind lebensgefährlich. Hoffentlich kommen die Menschen bald zur Ruhe!

And DonaldTrump gives his 2020 views on climate change.

This is a tragic lesson for the Austies, in case of recurrence, a mountain fire prevention bureau or emergency remedies should be put to effect. Since the live loss of animals and loss of the natural environment has lost count, all necessary measures must be expedited.

Thank you Mother Nature

Who the hell starting fire please?

Awesome been to that park

Bipolar continent. Either you burn or drown. Poor creatures. :(

Stop coal mining and contributing to being the 3rd largest exporter of fossil fuels. This is the repercussions and not only will you have a shitty ecosystem you’ll lose people’s lives all for what a percentage increase on primitive dead technology?

Australia must not forget my tweet few day's ago that their sin cause is forgiven. And that rain will fall to the skin of thier land. Be prepared.

they prayed for rain, god listened 🙏. stay safe Australia AustraliaOnFire
