Australia: As ex-Tropical Cyclone Koji continues to produce heavy rainfall in the northeast Australian state of Queensland, flood warnings have been issued.

Following more than a year’s worth of rainfall in a single week in several areas of central, northeast, and northwest Queensland, the Bureau of Meteorology (BoM) issued several flood warnings for rivers and catchments as of Tuesday AM local time.

On Monday afternoon, people in low-lying portions of the tiny town of Clermont, which is located around 750 kilometers northwest of Brisbane, the state capital, were told to relocate to higher ground.

In the community of around 3,000 residents, which has been shut off by floods, more than 300 residences were still without power on Tuesday.

Three individuals were saved from Clermont’s floods overnight, according to authorities on Tuesday.

Around 2:40 a.m. local time, swift water rescue boats scooped up two guys who had been stranded on the top of their automobile in floods. A few hours later, a third person was rescued from the roof of another vehicle.

In a another instance, two more persons became stuck on the top of a car near Clermont on Monday night and were finally able to find their own way to safety.

Ex-Tropical Cyclone Koji is now making its way west across Queensland after making landfall on the northeast coast on Sunday morning with strong gusts and a lot of rain.

According to the Xinhua news agency, Queensland Premier David Crisafulli warned reporters on Monday that residents in western Queensland, which had already had heavy rainfall in January, should be on high alert since further rain might be disastrous.

According to Crisafulli, the floods have left about 50,000 cattle missing or thought to be dead, but no human losses have been recorded.
