Australia’s iconic Great Ocean Road was closed in both directions on Thursday (Jan 15) after severe storms triggered flash flooding across Victoria state. The flooding swept cars out to sea and cut power to thousands, prompting emergency warnings for nearby towns and calls for residents to take shelter. The closure comes just days after the popular tourist route was shut due to bushfires sparked by an intense summer heatwave. #australianews | CNA
