NewsBytes:

Australia - Flooding caused by a severe thunderstorm in south-east Queensland, Australia has claimed the life of one person. Heavy rain brought flash flooding to Logan and parts of the Brisbane CBD causing major delays on all train lines in and out of the city.

France - The historic French community of Mont Saint-Michel was isolated from the mainland when the so-called “tide of the century” completely submerged its causeway for the first time in this millennium. The tide is estimated to have risen to a level of about 50 feet tall – that is, as high as a four-story building. The spectacular scenic views created by the phenomenon brought many tourists flocking to the large granite island off the northern coast of Normandy.

Britain - The highest supertides for 18 years triggered by Friday’s solar eclipse are expected to hit British coastlines today and the following two days. Tides will be 2.5m higher than other times in Milford Haven, South Wales, 1.5m above in Plymouth, Devon, and the Isle of Mull, western Scotland, and 0.5m above in London on the tidal Thames.
