Australia floods: Melbourne streets inundated as heavy rain slams southeast

Thousands of people across Australia's southeast were asked to evacuate their homes on Friday, including some in Melbourne's west, after two days of incessant rains triggered flash flooding. Large parts of Victoria state, southern New South Wales and the northern regions of the island state of Tasmania were pounded by an intense weather system, with some taking more than a month's worth of rain since late Wednesday, officials said. Many rivers in Victoria, including the Maribyrnong in Melbourne's west and the Goulburn further north, reached major flood levels, prompting the nighttime evacuation of residents. Though heavy rains are expected to ease late Friday, flooding could continue through the weekend, officials said.
