Madzi osefukira akuluakulu asefukira mbali zina za kumpoto kwa Queensland - ndipo mvula yamphamvu yalepheretsa anthu omwe akuyesera kuchoka m'mudzi womwe wakhudzidwa ndi madzi akukwera. Nyengo yoopsa yoyambitsidwa ndi chimphepo chamkuntho cha Jasper yagwetsa mvula ya chaka chonse m'madera ena. Zithunzi zikuwonetsa ndege zomwe zatsekedwa pa msewu wopita ku eyapoti ya Cairns, ndi ng'ona ya 2.8m yomwe yagwidwa m'madzi osefukira ku Ingham. Akuluakulu aboma aletsa anthu 300 okhala ku Wujal Wujal chifukwa cha mikhalidwe yoipa. Palibe imfa kapena anthu omwe asowa omwe anenedwa mpaka pano. Komabe, akuluakulu aboma akuyembekeza kuti kusefukira kwa madzi kusefukirako ndiko koyipa kwambiri m'boma, ndipo mvula yamphamvu ikuyembekezeka kupitirira kwa maola ena 24. Anthu mazana ambiri apulumutsidwa - ndi nyumba zambiri zasefukira, magetsi ndi misewu yatsekedwa ndipo madzi abwino akumwa akuchepa. Mzinda wa Cairns walandira mvula yoposa 2m (7ft) kuyambira pomwe nyengo idayamba. Bwalo lake la ndege linatsekedwa ndege zitatsekedwa ndi kusefukira kwa msewu wopita ku eyapoti, ngakhale akuluakulu aboma akuti madzi ayamba kale. Nduna ya Queensland, Steven Miles, adauza bungwe la Australian Broadcasting Corporation (ABC) kuti tsoka lachilengedwe linali "loipa kwambiri lomwe ndikukumbukira. "Ndakhala ndikulankhula ndi anthu aku Cairns omwe ali pansi pano ... ndipo akunena kuti sanawonepo chilichonse chonga ichi," adatero. "Kuti wina wochokera kumpoto kwa Queensland anene zimenezo, zimenezo zikunenadi kanthu." Mapu a BBC akuwonetsa kuchuluka kwa mvula yomwe yagwa kumpoto kwa Queensland mlungu wofika pa 18 Disembala, pomwe 400mm yagwa mozungulira Cairns ndi Wujal Wujal Mvula yaletsa anthu kutuluka m'madzi. Mu mzinda wakutali wa Wujal Wujal, womwe uli pamtunda wa makilomita 175 (makilomita 110) kumpoto kwa Cairns, anthu asanu ndi anayi kuphatikiza mwana wodwala adagona padenga la chipatala pambuyo poti ogwira ntchito zadzidzidzi sanathe kuwafikira. Gululo linasamutsidwira kumalo ena Lolemba, koma a Miles adati adakakamizika kuyimitsa kutuluka m'tawuni yonse chifukwa cha nyengo yoipa. Kuyesa kwina kudzachitika Lachiwiri m'mawa nthawi yakomweko, malinga ndi ABC. Onse otsalawo anali "otetezeka komanso okwera," adatero Wachiwiri kwa Commissioner wa Queensland Shane Chelepy. A Miles adalankhula kale "nkhawa za madzi akumwa, za zimbudzi, magetsi ndi kulumikizana, misewu - misewu yambiri yatsekedwa ndipo sitingathe kupeza thandizo la mlengalenga". Oneneratu zam'tsogolo adati mvula yamphamvu ipitilira Lolemba lonse ndipo ikugwirizana ndi mafunde amphamvu, zomwe zikuwonjezera kukhudzidwa kwa madera otsika. Ngakhale mvula ikuyembekezeka kuyamba kuchepa Lachiwiri, mitsinje siinafike pachimake ndipo idzakhalabe yodzaza kwa masiku ambiri. Ndege za Joseph Dietz zamira pa eyapoti ya Cairns Madzi osefukira a Joseph Dietz asefukira m'malo ambiri kumpoto kwa Queensland, kuphatikizapo eyapoti ya Cairns.
Mitsinje ingapo ikuyembekezeka kuswa mbiri yomwe idakhazikitsidwa panthawi ya kusefukira kwa madzi mu 1977. Mwachitsanzo, Mtsinje wa Daintree wadutsa kale mbiri yakale ndi 2m, pambuyo poti walandira mvula ya 820mm m'maola 24.
Akuluakulu aboma akuganiza kuti ndalama zomwe zawonongedwa ndi ngoziyi zipitilira A$1 biliyoni (£529 miliyoni; $670 miliyoni).
Kum'mawa kwa Australia kwakhala kukusefukira madzi pafupipafupi m'zaka zaposachedwa ndipo dzikolo tsopano likuvutika ndi nyengo ya El Nino, yomwe nthawi zambiri imagwirizanitsidwa ndi zochitika zoopsa monga moto wamtchire ndi chimphepo chamkuntho.
Australia yakhala ikuvutika ndi masoka angapo m'zaka zaposachedwapa - chilala chachikulu ndi moto wa m'nkhalango, kusefukira kwa madzi kwa zaka zambiri, komanso zochitika zisanu ndi chimodzi zoyeretsa nkhalango pa Great Barrier Reef.
Lipoti laposachedwa la UN Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) likuchenjeza kuti tsogolo la masoka oipiraipira likhoza kukhalapo pokhapokha ngati pachitikapo kanthu mwachangu kuti athetse kusintha kwa nyengo.
