Queensland, Australia - Residents in the north Queensland town of Ingham are bracing for the town's worst flood in nearly a decade, which is expected to inundate properties and cut off communities for days. Supermarket shelves have been stripped of fresh food, with several roads already closed around the town leaving rural communities stranded. More than 350 millimetres of rain has fallen in the catchment over the past 36 hours and further heavy downpours are expected.
Arkansas, USA - A small town in Lonoke County is devastated after a levee broke, causing over 100 homes to become flooded. The state has declared the situation in Humnoke a disaster. Heavy rain last week caused the levee just east of town to breech.
Albania - Albanian authorities say that heavy rain has caused flooding in more parts of country, with landslides damaging many roads. The defense ministry said Thursday that about 2,800 hectares (6,900 acres) of agricultural land and grasslands in the north-west have now been flooded. The heavy rain has obliged three hydropower stations in the north to release excess water after many rivers, including the main Drini River, swelled. Power is lacking in some rural areas, and some houses and many roads in the east and south of the country have been damaged from landslides.
