'We're far from out of this and I think the recovery efforts that are going to have to occur are going to be significant.' BALTIMORE (WJZ) — In the wake of Cyclone Debbie, which hit Australia’s Queensland territory this week, authorities found a bull shark on a road in the town of Ayr. Tens of thousands of people were ordered to evacuate in parts of northern New South Wales state, which neighbours Queensland, with floodwaters rising as the ex-tropical cyclone tracked south before it is expected to move offshore on Friday. A emergency services source told AAP South Molle Island, to the northwest of Hamilton Island, had been 'totally devastated' but no one was there when Debbie struck.
Consequences of heavy rain from Cyclone Debbie kill at least three people and force 20,000 others to leave their homes in New South Wales and Queensland.
