Severe Weather Causes Deaths, Outages in Australia

Severe storms in southern Australia have left one woman dead and over 120,000 people without power. A 63-year-old woman was killed when a tree fell on her cabin at a holiday park on the Victoria-New South Wales border. High winds and heavy rains caused widespread damage, with gusts reaching up to 187 km/h in some areas. Victoria Premier Jacinta Allan warned of continued dangerous conditions and potential delays in power restoration, which could take up to three days. Tasmania also faced significant flooding and power outages due to the storms. Authorities have issued weather warnings and advised residents to avoid coastal areas due to high tides and dangerous waves.
