ArabiaWeather - Tropical Cyclone "Jasper" caused floods resulting from heavy rain in northeastern Australia on Monday; The impact of this cyclone led to the isolation of many tourist towns along the Great Barrier Reef, and the heavy rains that the state of Queensland witnessed at the beginning of this week forced some residents to leave their homes and gather on rooftops to escape the rapidly rising rivers, while the authorities ordered thousands of people to move to High areas: State Premier Stephen Miles stressed that improvement in weather conditions requires time, noting that continuous rains are hampering relief operations and air support in remote areas.

In the flood-hit town of Ingham, a 2.8-metre crocodile was caught in a storm drain near a petrol station, and although such sightings are not rare in rural north Queensland, this remains an unusual development.

The city of Cairns, the main tourist center overlooking the barrier reef, was greatly affected, as floods led to the closure of its airport, and reports indicate that heavy rain caused a ten-year-old girl to be struck by lightning in southern Queensland on Saturday, and she is in a critical condition.

All flights from Cairns Airport were canceled or postponed, and with more than 14,000 homes in the area without power, Australian Prime Minister Anthony Albanese announced the Defense Forces were ready to begin rescue and relief efforts.
