Australia’s prime minister cautioned that the fallout from a vicious tropical storm over the weekend was "far from over" as parts of two states remained inundated with perilous floodwaters on Monday, even as the initial threat from the deluge continued to recede.
One person was killed and several others injured after heavy rain lashed Australia’s east coast on Saturday, toppling trees and power lines and inundating some parts of Queensland and New South Wales states with record downpours.
