One dead in Australia floods as authorities order evacuation

TEHRAN, Feb. 02 (MNA) – One woman died in Australia Sunday as authorities ordered residents in the country’s flood-ravaged northeast to evacuate and be on the lookout for crocodiles as river levels approach historic highs.

Authorities in the Australian state of Queensland said parts of the state received more than 600 millimeters (24 inches) in 24 hours.

With heavy rains continuing, residents in flood-prone areas of Townsville were told to evacuate their homes by midday Sunday.
