(Good morning!) Authorities are warning there's worse to come in Queensland's worst floods in half a century. Towns, west and north of Brisbane, have been cut off by floodwaters. Some residents have left their homes; many more are getting ready to do the same. Chinchilla, Dalby, and Warwick in the south, and Theodore and Rockhampton in central Queensland are at greatest risk.
Police have arrested three teenagers who tried to ride the floodwaters on inflatable
mattresses1 in Queensland. The teens attempted to ride the current 30 kilometres downstream to Southbank in Brisbane's CBD. Police and Emergency Services found them floating on the
swollen2 Bremer River, 15 kilometres from where they started.
Across the border, floods in northeastern New South Wales are expected to ease later today. About 100 people in Kyogle have fled the rising Richmond River. There's (have口误) also been evacuations in Eugowra. Emergency workers are also keeping an eye on villages like Urbenvile and Bonalbo which will be cut off for days.
Wild weather is causing
chaos3 on America's east coast.
Blizzards4 have closed airports and
severely5 disrupted road and rail travel. A state of emergency is being declared in six states.
And two children have been injured in an overnight shooting in Sydney's southwest. Police say a man knocked on the door of the Greenacre home about 10:30 before firing several shots inside. An 11-year-old girl was struck in the
thigh6, and a 16-year-old boy was hit in the foot.
