A severe storm has triggered dangerous flash flooding across Australia’s Victoria state, forcing the closure of the world-famous Great Ocean Road and sweeping vehicles into the sea. Emergency services issued urgent flood warnings for multiple coastal towns as intense rainfall inundated caravan parks, trapped motorists, and knocked out power to thousands of homes. Aerial footage showed floodwaters surging through low-lying areas while rescue crews rushed to assist stranded residents and tourists.
