Flooding in northern Queensland, Australia, has caused "incredible" devastation, with thousands returning home after evacuation. The floods have affected towns like Ingham and Cardwell, where power outages and damaged roads hinder recovery efforts. Queensland Premier David Crisafulli said the damage was shocking, with homes, businesses, and farms inundated. One woman died in a rescue attempt. Townsville was spared the worst, with predicted flood levels not materialising. Local experts warn that extreme weather events like this will increase due to climate change. Recovery may take weeks, with infrastructure repairs underway.
