A severe storm in the city of Perth left a lot of people without home. The power cables were collapsed, the hospitals were flooded and some schools remained closed.
A part of the terminal of Perth airport was collapsed and it affected the flights.
The flooding in Queensland, New South Wales, Victoria and Western Australia in January was one of the country’s worst natural disasters.
Scientists say that the disasters are not caused by the climate change but a lot of people think that the flooding is provoked by the effects of climate change.
In Australia, particurally in Sydney, there was a hurricane called Yasi in the north seaside of Australia, with winds of up to 300 Kilometers/hour.
The hurricane uprooted trees and electrical wires and in the sea big wales started. In this place there are a lot of tourists all year long, and it was dangerous for them.
A lot of people during the hurricane were in shelters, and a lot of tourists stayed all the night in a big store, an improvise shelter.
This hurrican was up to category five in the Saffir-Simpson steep, and it’s the same level that had the hurricane Katrina in 2005.
