In Australia,
thousands of people across the country Southeast
are being asked to evacuate their homes.
Two days of continuous rains have triggered flash floods and burst
the banks of the Mary Burn On river near Melbourne,
officials say.
Some areas have taken more than a month's worth of rain
since late Wednesday floodwaters have filled homes and swallowed up cars.
Certain areas are without power,
but many people are still staying in place.
Some are even braving the waters
in kayaks.
