Far North Queensland Floods: More Rain on the Way

From Adelaide, this is your March 20th update.

Far North Queensland is still on high alert for flooding after hundreds of millimeters

of rain soaked the region.

Recovery efforts from tropical cyclone Narell are just getting underway, but authorities

say the danger is far from over.

Clean up crews are moving in as water levels remain high in many areas.

Officials are urging everyone to stay vigilant and avoid flooded roads, with floodwatches

active across parts of the Far North.

Officials have been dealing with the chaos from the recent downpours, which turn streets

into rivers and forced some evacuations.

The impact has hit communities hard, disrupting daily life and power in spots.

Now, forecasters mourn of more hard and fast rain, plus thunderstorms, through today and

into the weekend, northern parts of the state could see even heavier falls, keeping the flood

risk alive.

As teams work to clear debris and assess damage, locals are bracing for whatever comes next

in this wet spell.
