Widespread Evacuations as Queensland Faces Historic Flooding Crisis

News summary

Outback Queensland is facing unprecedented flooding, with communities urged to evacuate due to rainfall not seen in 50 years. The Bureau of Meteorology has issued severe weather warnings, predicting up to 100mm of additional rain, exacerbating existing flood conditions across the state. Grazier Andrea Speed reported significant livestock losses, with entire properties cut off, while helicopter pilots are providing critical support by delivering supplies and rescuing stranded animals. Queensland Premier David Crisafulli highlighted the devastating impact on agriculture, activating personal hardship assistance and loans for affected primary producers. The flooding has isolated many towns, including Adavale, where residents were evacuated by air as roads became impassable. Recovery efforts will take time, as some areas may remain submerged for weeks.
