Queensland, Australia, has seen record-breaking flooding, with residents
of some areas warned against traveling due to large crocodiles sighted
in the floodwaters. The flooding, caused by heavy rain, has been
particularly severe in Burketown, a small community in the north of the
state about 1,300 miles northwest of the state capital Brisbane. Aerial
images show roads and houses submerged, and almost 100 residents had to
be airlifted to higher ground. On Monday, Queensland Police warned
residents to stay out of the floodwaters as a helicopter had spotted
"two very large crocs" in the waters.
