The floods in Australia are the worst in history, one capital city will be flooded by tomorrow and the floods are currently covering a land mass bigger than france and germany combined. It is predicted that there will be flooding across 5 of the 7 states by the end of the week. It is absolutely insane and it is also predicted that over 100 or 200 people will be dead. It is the height of summer and it has been raing constantly for more than 6 weeks in Queensland and the amount of water is incredible. There was a tsumani several 100 km from the coast with waves up to 8 meters high.
