💨 Abstract

Australian authorities in Queensland state have urged residents to evacuate due to ongoing flooding caused by heavy rains. Major flooding is affecting Hinchinbrook Shire, a region of around 11,000 people, and the town of Giru, with 387 residents. The flooding is linked to a low pressure system rich in tropical moisture, potentially causing heavy, locally intense rainfall and damaging winds through early next week.
