Thousands of Australian Homes Flooded by Rains
Four dead
Torrential rains have left thousands of homes flooded in eastern Australia, with more rain and high winds expected in Queensland and New South Wales.
The disaster has claimed four lives, including a 3-year-old boy who was hit by a falling tree in the Queensland state capital, Brisbane, the Australian Associated Press said Monday.
It said officials were preparing for another day of evacuations along the eastern coast, where hundreds of homes have been cut off by floodwaters.
