Australian authorities urge residents of Queensland town to flee floods -CNN.COM. Written on 2/6/12 by Karen Smith.

The recent flooding has devastated many of the residents in Queensland Australia. The flooding took place on January 30 around lunchtime. The flood was caused by rain overflowing the river. Some of the people of Queensland are not reacting to the flooding as much as the authorities want them to. The authorities want everyone to evacuate but some residents just want to sandbag and take cover in their homes. However, 3000 residence of St. George did listen and left the danger area. Some of the people who lived close to the river have had their houses get flooded. A total of about thirty houses were flooded and they were expecting even more as the water continues to rise. A surprising fact that I have learned is that some residents would rather save their house instead of saving their lives. Also, the flood started on Monday and people were still trapped in there homes on the next Sunday. Queensland has had a few floods before but this flood topped the charts. I think that this event is important to science because floods are getting more and more severe and articles like this can motivate scientists to figure out how to stop them.

==== There is a great flood that I would like to tell you about. The flood that I would like to tell you about is the great flood of 1993. The great flood of 1993 caused damage in many places. Such as Illinois, Iowa, Kansas, [|Minnesota], [|Missouri], [|Nebraska], [|North Dekota], [|South Dakota] and [|wisconsin]. The flood caused 15,000,000 dollars in damage and lasted for 4 months. ====

==== The flood of 1993 was a terrible event for the residents in Illinois, Iowa, Kansas, Minnesota, Missouri, Nebraska, North Dakota, South Dakota and Wisconsin. Also for the people who watched it on television.During a flood as severe as the flood of 1993 you should always listen to the news to figure out more information. During a flood you should also bring in any outside furniture inside if time. After a flood you should stay away from any damaged areas unless asked for help by [|Police], [|Firemen], or [|paramedics]. Also stay away from any big structures after a flood. ====
