'Wall of water' swamps another Australian town

A surging river that crested Thursday flooded and isolated a new community as Australia's flood disaster continued. The flooding in Kerang, in the southeast state of Victoria, strained a levee serving as the main protection between the muddy waters and residents' homes.It follows weeks of massive flooding in northeastern Queensland that the government says could be the nation's most expensive natural disaster ever.

Overflowing rivers swamped an area larger than France and Germany combined, shut down much of Queensland's lucrative coal industry and left 30 people dead. Walls of water miles wide are surging across northern and western Victoria in the wake of record rainfall last week. Sixty-two Victorian towns have already been affected by rising waters and more than 3,500 people have evacuated their homes.

More than 1,000 residents in Kerang did not evacuate and are isolated. A recently built levee is keeping the water from their homes, according to the paper.Authorities have had to conduct more than 150 rescues after residents ignored advice not to go near the rising water, the newspaper reported
What is happening is Australie is a tradegy They are all helpless because the levee broke lose in Kerang. The people of Australia do not know what to do about the situation. So all they can do know is wait for help, and wait for the flood to die down.
