Flooding in northeastern Australia caused thousands of homes to lose power Tuesday and prompted authorities to start evacuations, around a year after deadly floods devastated the region. Up to a dozen homes were evacuated on Brisbane's northern outskirts as Australia's third-largest city was hit by heavy rain, reports said, and authorities urged more people to leave their homes. Almost 10,000 homes were blacked out and rising waters forced the closure of roads in Brisbane, which ground to a halt for several days in early 2011 due to flooding.

These abnormal periods are a reflection of La Nina in conjunction with other meteorological phenomena, possibly enhanced by climate change. pacific moisture is being diverted to Asia, while large parts of NE Mexico and SW US are in drought. Large portions of NE Mexico have seen ZERO rainfall for 15 months, and food and water are being shipped in by the government.
