Summary: This article discusses the recent floods in Queensland, Australia. Authorities persuaded homeowners to abandon their flooding homes as the Balonne River swelled. The police commissioner explained to CNN that he couldn't force people out of their homes, but he would continue to urge them to leave. Very sadly, a woman was found dead after trying to drive her truck through the floodwaters. Luckily, just before then, she handed off her seven year old to rescue workers.
Newsworthy: With our recent slew of natural disasters in the 201 area, it is important for us to realize that other people go through the same thing - or worse.

Question: How long will it take for the region to recover and what is the US doing to help?
