The US National Weather Service has issued multiple flood advisories and warnings across various counties due to excessive rainfall, with flash flooding expected in places like Fort Worth, Monroe, and Steuben Counties. Residents in affected areas are advised to seek higher ground and avoid driving through flooded roads to prevent fatalities, most of which occur in vehicles. Additionally, guidance has been issued on securing homes and avoiding submerged electrical hazards during floods. Meanwhile, Australia is bracing for damaging winds across multiple states including NSW, Victoria, South Australia, and Tasmania due to a cold front moving through the region, potentially causing power cuts.
