Thousands have been evacuated from their homes in Australia due to continuous rain. Some areas have seen as much as a month’s worth of rain since last Wednesday.

Thousands Evacuate Floods in Australia

In Australia, thousands of people across the country Southeast are being asked to evacuate their homes. Two days of continuous rains have triggered flash floods and burst the banks of the Mary Burn On river near Melbourne, officials say. Some areas have taken more than a month's worth of rain since late Wednesday floodwaters have filled homes and swallowed up cars. Certain areas are without power, but many people are still staying in place. Some are even braving the waters in kayaks.
