On Friday December 10th authorities in Australia declared 45 communities along the country's east coast disaster areas. For weeks there has been drenching rains that have killed four people, destroyed crops and houses. Thousands of people have been forced to evacuate their homes. December is the normal time for rains, but this seasons there has been more heavier rains; in one area up to 4inches in one night. Sandbags have been placed around homes and businesses to try and lessen the damage. Drier weather is predicting for a short period of time, but than more heavy rain is the be expected for the end of the week and early next week.
There's not much people can do to minimize rain damage, but hopefully more people can evacuate and get away to try and keep the death toll at only 4.
