UPDATE 1-Death toll in Australia floods rises to four, tens of thousands stranded
The death toll from floods in Australia has risen to four, with around 50,000 people stranded due to severe weather conditions. A man's body was discovered in a car trapped in floodwaters near Coffs Harbour. Prime Minister Anthony Albanese canceled his visit to Taree, one of the hardest-hit areas, citing safety concerns. Experts attribute the increasing frequency of such extreme weather events to climate change, with warnings about contaminants and dangers in returning to flooded homes. Disruptions in Sydney include train service interruptions and temporary runway closures at Sydney Airport.
