Heavy rains in Australia's northeastern New South Wales and southeastern Queensland cause significant damage, with towns experiencing a month's worth of rain in 24 hours. The situation remains dangerous, with forecasts of more heavy rain until Tuesday morning. The Gold Coast tourist spot is severely impacted, with flooded roads and low-lying areas underwater. Thousands of residents in Queensland are still without power after thunderstorms, potentially delaying reconnection efforts. A family of four trapped in a caravan park was successfully rescued.
