The floods in Australia are getting worse and worse, and this disaster may be the worst in the country's history. On June 5438+0 1, a super heavy rain brought sudden floods, which spread the disaster from central Queensland to Brisbane, the state capital in the southeast, and the disaster in Tumba was serious. This severe flood, described as "inland tsunami", caused at least 10 deaths in Toumba, 79 people were missing in Brisbane, dozens of people were trapped by floods, and about 200,000 people were affected. The military is conducting a large-scale search and rescue and calling on Brisbane residents to evacuate. Prime Minister Gillard said that China, the United States and other countries expressed their willingness to assist in disaster relief.

Residents were forced to climb to the roof, and the Prime Minister called the disaster "appalling"

The Wuhan Evening News reported that Australian Prime Minister Gillard, dressed in black, called the picture of the disaster "completely shocking". She said: "I saw cars floating in the water, people staying on the roofs and people hanging on trees and road signs for their lives."

Queensland Governor Anna Bly (month 1 1 day) said that the flood has caused 10 deaths, including a 4-year-old boy. Bly said that when rescuers rescued the boy and his family, the boy fell off the lifeboat and died. According to Bly's speculation, with the deepening of rescue work, the confirmed death toll will rise further. Rainy and humid weather has increased the difficulty of search and rescue.

Brisbane is facing the worst flood since 1893. Newman, the mayor of Brisbane, said that the disaster was very serious, many buildings were damaged, and the Brisbane River burst its banks, which would affect 6,500 houses and urban areas. Many victims climbed onto the roof and the authorities dispatched helicopters to save people. In addition, a major reservoir in the city is discharging flood, which may make the flood worse. Mayor Newman said: "The flood is coming ... it is very serious today, and it will get worse tomorrow. 13 will be devastating."

The 2-meter-high water wall poured into the street center city and instantly became a "terror inland sea"

The picturesque Tumba experienced a "horror" scene. The two-meter-high "water wall" formed by the flood suddenly arrived, which was described as "angry sea in the mountains" and "terrible inland sea", killing 9 people in just 1 hour. The flood was so powerful that it swept away trees and houses, washed away cars and passers-by, flooded roads, and scattered furniture and sundries everywhere. Some people desperately cling to telephone poles to save their lives. One victim said: "There was no warning in advance. It's terrible. I heard the sound of the river bank collapsing. Suddenly, a wall of water rushed into the street and flooded the chest. A man tried to swim against the current and was swept away by the flood. Fortunately, he caught the road sign in time. "

Local officials said that a local town was destroyed by an atomic bomb, the oil pump was washed on the road half a kilometer away, and two or three houses were washed into the river. A supermarket manager said that the goods drifted in the flood of 1 m, and more than two meters of waves could be seen. Comprehensive Xinhua news agency

Residents frantically "grab" food.

Brisbane is the third largest city in Australia. The violent flood forced Brisbane's shops and offices to close, and the business center was deserted. Residents snapped up food in the supermarket, and the supermarket shelves were snapped up.

Witnesses said that a large number of people went to the supermarket to buy bread, milk, batteries, bottled water and candles, and the situation was chaotic. One resident said: "People are grabbing goods. There is no bread on the shelf, and anything that is perishable is gone as long as it is eaten. "

China people evacuated to the highlands.

Many local Chinese responded to the government's appeal and evacuated to the highlands to avoid floods. A spokesman for the Australian Chinese Aid Center said that the major dams are in danger and need to be flooded, which is estimated to cause further disasters. Many people in China live nearby, and residents have taken preventive measures. Mr. Li, a Brisbane Chinese, said: "There are some clean drinking water and food in the house, and sandbags are piled at the door to prevent floods. It has not been so heavy for decades. "

The economic loss is $6 billion.

Since the end of last year, Australia has suffered from continuous floods, and experts predict that the economic loss may be as high as 6 billion US dollars. More than 40 towns in Queensland were flooded, and the damage caused by floods to infrastructure was incalculable. In particular, many coal mines are affected, some railways and ports are interrupted, and the export volume is bound to decrease. The exchange rate of the Australian dollar against the US dollar hit a new low at 12, and the decline of the Australian dollar will lead to increased inflation. The Australian dollar is the worst performing currency recently.
