Three Girls Rescued from Floodwaters in Queensland

Firefighters in Union Springs successfully rescued three boaters stranded on an island in Cayuga Lake after their boat's engine failed. The rescue occurred when firefighters delivered a new battery to enable the men to escape, with no reported injuries. Meanwhile, in Queensland, Australia, three teenage girls aged 13 and 14 were rescued after clinging to a partially-submerged tree in floodwaters for nearly two hours. Heavy rainfall had caused significant flooding in the area, with some regions receiving over 340mm of rain in just six hours. Emergency services also responded to multiple incidents, including rescuing a 65-year-old man and his dog from a truck in floodwaters. Authorities have warned against driving into flooded areas, emphasizing the dangers and potential fines for disobeying road access signs.
