Heavy rain in Australia extinguishes major wildfire, causes flash flooding

After weeks of devastating wildfires, Australia's east coast is now experiencing major flash flooding caused by downpours across the region.

While the rain is good news for fire-ravaged and drought-stricken areas, a severe weather warning was in effect Sunday along most of the New South Wales coast and parts of Queensland to the north.

Heavy rain, damaging winds, and abnormally high tides are in the forecast.

The New South Wales State Emergency Service reported six flood rescues overnight near Grafton, north of Sydney, amid dozens of calls for help over the past two days. The people who were rescued became stranded while attempting to drive through floodwater.

The scar burn flooding will be short lived and the retainment walls can be erected quickly.

All of that is better than the burning.
