Queensland floods: Australia airport submerged and crocodiles seen after record rain | BBC News 

My sister in Cairns is living on 1st floor, no electricity and has lost her car and motorcycle to the flood so far. That said, she and her dogs are safe for now which is the main thing.b

Never been so Happy, seein..........NEWS like *THIS* !!

I’m in port Douglas the rain was unbelievable. I might add there’s no supplies getting here anytime soon …the roads are under tons of landslides.

I’m from South East Queensland and we also received terrible thunderstorms and mountains of rain! This reminds me of last year’s floods! It was horrible. Hope everyone up north is recovering well

I've seen flooding like that here in south Louisiana too. We have to look out for snakes and alligators when the waters rise. Fortunately we have a group that self-organized called the Cajun Navy and they do a great job at getting stranded people out to safety. Best wishes to you all. You have my sympathy.

To give some perspective, some areas have received 800 - 900 mm of rain in one day. The whole of Far North Queensland’s 380,000 km2 is affected (compared to UK’s 243,000 km2)

It’s very serious up there. My sister is trapped in Cairns whilst her husband and son are in Townsville. Probably won’t get back to cairns until at least Wednesday. I think the Aussie reporter liked saying the town name of Wujil Wujil though.

Heck yes crocodiles would be almost everywhere in those areas. Stay safe, everyone, hope help and supplies get through quickly

How is the British media is covering this better than the Australian media?

My heart goes out to all people. It's terrible. 😪😪 With love from the Netherlands ❤️❤️

Oh my god was out that way in sept- oct visiting me mate and had great weather can’t believe this ,Mother Nature doing her worst ,keep safe everyone there x

yes!!! YES!!! *Santa clausss....... is comin to TOWN* .........🎄🎄🎅

May wish you a Merry ChristX'mass, may wish you a merry ChristX'mass, may WISH you a merry ChristX'mas, *AUSTRALIA is FLoooding in- TOWN* 🥰🥰 Happy NEW YEAR 2024 , Dear &X- convicted British croooKs* 😘

Spent many years in the Far North and endured several cyclones. The flooding with Jasper is worst I’ve seen. Stay safe everyone and keep the kids close.

My feelings are with the victims and families. Hang in there, people, hope you'll be fine in the end....

Prayers for Australia

That croc is not a worry, it's just a baby, it's the mummy, daddy, grandparents and great granddaddy's and mummy's you have to worry about.🤔

The aboriginal people along the Darling River had a fear of the bunyip, that came with the floods. The bunyip was a crocodile, washed down the river from Queensland. We as kids were warned not to go near the river or the bunyip would get us.

Oh Australia 🙏❤️

Stay safe over there❤️❤️❤️

Prayers for Australia. Here in Alberta Canada is 1 Celcius in winter. Last year was -30 Celcius at this time. I am so worry.

ThanK GOD , FINALLY the GOD here its doin @their Job & the *TRUTH* on these Aussies_Australians!!

I advise everyone in a flood zone to go up stairs as crocodiles cannot run up stairs quickly .

*Wishing for safety of the indigenous Aboriginal Australians*

The BBC probably should have shown a map of where this is happening. It gives the impression to anyone who doesn’t know Australia that major cities are underwater with crocs swimming around the streets of somewhere like Sydney or Melbourne. It’s taking place many thousands of kilometres north of Melbourne, Sydney or even Brisbane - the state of Queensland is massive!! Far northern Australia has two seasons - the Dry Season and the Wet Season. It’s now the Wet Season and this is just exceptionally wet. The people living up in Far North Queensland are tough, they’ll be taking this and getting through it. And from the predictions of extreme hot weather happing over this summer, this region will possibly be hit by a cyclone in February or March. This is why you need to be tough to live up there.

Oh boy! Crocks are going to have early Christmas gifts..😮

Thoughts with our Aussie Brother's & Sisters from the UK

Thank you.

North Qld is well used to cyclones and floods. This one is different as it remained in the one big area as a rain bomb. These floods are several metres above what they usually experience.

Maybe Hartley's Adventures is missing a croc that would normally show up for the snap shots? .... yikes, though! What a scary situation 🙏

For those of us with friends and family over there, a map might be reassuring !

How 😢😢

Just play Tom Petty over this footage and you got yourself a GTA VI trailer.

gosh so sad

This kind can only be caused when the moon is disturbed or tempered with

Hope everyone is fine.no loss of life. Wish u all lots of courage..😊

Hoping everyone stays safe up there. In Florida an alligator was found dragging a body along a residential street during floods.

😂😂😂😂 this is unbelievable

Oh, God

May God protect you all.🤍🙏🙏🙏

Barron River & it's streams (adjacent roads) 😮😮

Australia...😳

Good luck everybody.

Geez, Ozzies are tough. Gobbless yall. 🙏

Just a few light winds and scattered showers in the tropics.

This channel comments section is infested with thousands of scammer bots..

Boy and I thought we had problems!!

And people from the UK think that Australia is all dry and warm.

Poor old Oz.

Humanity needs to address climate change. The costs to try and fix this will be cheaper than enduring the costs of these disasters year after year.

Australia posts signs about sewage spills!! Thames Water could learn something, but maybe don't have enough signs.

The thing is, it came after cyclone Jasper,they had some idea early that bad weather was coming. The cyclone threat was reduced, but still there is always rain and it spreads across most of aus after a cyclone. They had fair warning but it went bad :(

Karma for greed/stolen Indigenous land

Refreshing bbc and abc not trying to push an agenda and just expressing what’s happening with the floods here. Keep that up

Did someone save that poor crocodile 😮

Great, as if the floods weren't bad enough, now there's crocodiles in there too. What's next? Bull sharks and fire?

They all drive on the wrong side of the road ...what do you expect....

"would you would you"

Praying for everyone’s safety 🙏

Is so many Crocs up there now since they stopped hunting them probably some monsters in those waters

ok

Crocodile says what is the problem?

OT: Benny Hill considered funnier than Monty Python by two TV stations--WOR and WLVI!

this reminds me of that movie.... crawl i think it was?

Like Florida during a hurricane, with sharks cruising along the streets.

600 mm of rain in 24 hrs ! Let that sink in

Attracted by the word crocdile.

The world has changed **Nam myoho rengekyo** 🙏 pray 🌍 peace be safe ___:

sounds like dinner time for crocs

Having spent time in Qld the name rain forest is bit of a clue.

I think they have to re-think about the materials they use to cover the grand for building roads and squares, the fresh and clean rains are good climates’ signs I think, but some materials they have been using are not environmentally friendly.

Heavy spill took crocodile on roads

Leave it alone! That's our pet crock!

😔

Crocs are always an issue during flooding in Qld, noone should be wading through floodwaters

I,tink the Water tak,s the rule over this moment,you can see all over the Planeet.

Wujal Wujal my clan ❤

Das sind die Sonnenstürme gewesen

If we're not burning we're drowning, sometimes both at the same time in various places. I'm very sorry for the people of Cairns and NQ as this is one of those one in 100year floods. Due to cyclone Jasper parking it's soaking wet arse in the Peninsula for no good reason. The wind wasn't much to write home about, so it's making itself known by doing this.

ဟယ်လို့မဂ်လာပါ🙋‍♂️

I think it’s time for Queenslanders to start building their houses on a higher grounds… every year we hear the same story, I think is time for the government to act on this as weather events are going from bad to worse

That’s NOT a small little face.

Every drain system should have a hydroelectric generator...Turns wet weather into power... So we can we can watch the BBC of course...

sorry for all those people !

But they told us a few years ago that it will never rain again in Australia

There's a Crocodile! Look out!

Que lindo❤

@3:56 that’s the street I live on. I’m just a few house down from the White House.

Hmmm brother lives there , went camping ?

The Bible have already predicted that!

An entire year of rain (2 meters) in only 5 days. I saw photos of airplanes underwater at their airport. Absolutely crazy what global warming is doing to the weather and expect to it get MUCH worse in the coming years.

অস্ট্রেলিয়া বৃষ্টি হওয়ায় নদী

Yep, like sharks but they have legs and can run faster than you.

Record rain my arse. How do you this this earth's landscape was formed and eroded to its present state ?

Well the rain is helping keep the heat down, for now.

bbc there netting australia's famous desert-rainbow-fish?

Is this is a plague 🥶🥶🥶

low lying areas shouldn't be built on, and the more we concrete over paradise the worse ots going to get guys....

Stop saying Wujal Wujal all the time.
