A woman has died in Australia and thousands have been forced to run away from their homes after heavy rain caused flooding in northern Queensland.
Authorities say the water level will continue to rise and have warned of a dangerous and life-threatening situation.
Meteorologists say this could be the worst flood in the region in more than 60 years.
The woman who died was on a State Emergency Service boat which hit a tree and capsized.
Investigation continues.
