Murray flood

Murray flood
I don't normally post others' photos, but my sister-in law Jan has kindly provided these for posting, as this is several days' drive away from where I live. These two images (see also PiP) are of current flooding near Mannum, a town on the lower reaches of the Murray River in South Australia. The river is not normally visible in the locations of either of these images, it's usually toward the hills in the distance of this image. Sorry, but I can't get the map link to work.

To give some idea of the extent of the river and the size of Australia, these same floodwaters were causing major problems in eastern Australia back in mid-October and only now are reaching their peak here. This is the largest flood to reach Mannum in over 50 years and will continue for at least several weeks. Come to a point, at present Australia is having extreme floods right across the country, which can be linked to climate change..

Like many other regions in the world, Australia is going from one weather extreme to another – at least as it feels … The effects of man-made climate change are truly undeniable.
Impressive documentation, George!

Your sister-in-law shows the problem well with her photos George. Some very interesting information also. So many extremes of weather nowadays. It's quite frightening.
Take care.
