Record floods ravaged eastern Australia, causing widespread destruction and isolating 50,000 people. Four fatalities have been confirmed. The floods, fueled by half a year's worth of rain in three days, inundated towns like Kempsey, forcing residents to evacuate. Over 2,000 rescue workers are deployed, focusing on resupplying stranded communities and assessing damage as waters recede. Hundreds have been rescued by helicopter, with some seeking refuge on rooftops and bridges. Flood levels have reached heights unseen since 1920.
