  • Heftige Regenfälle vom 12. bis 14. Januar 2011 überfluteten große Teile des westlichen und zentralen Australiens. Besonders stark waren die Überschwemmungen in Queensland und in Victoria und dort vor allem die nördlichen und zentralen Gebiete. Viele der Städte in Victoria waren bereits von Überschwemmungen im September 2010 betroffen, jedoch war die Überschwemmung von 2011 wesentlich zerstörerischer. Die überflutete Fläche war viermal größer als damals. Dies führte zu tausenden von Evakuierungen durch den (SES). Am 18. Januar waren mehr als 51 Städte und Ortschaften in Victoria von der Flut betroffen, über 1.730 Gebäude wurden überflutet und über 17.000 Wohngebäude waren ohne Strom. (de)
  • High intensity rainfall between 12–14 January 2011 caused major flooding across much of the western and central parts of the Australian state of Victoria. Several follow-up heavy rainfall events including Tropical Low Yasi caused repeated flash flooding in affected areas in early February in many of the communities affected by January's floods. Many of the towns were previously affected by floods in September 2010, however the 2011 event was more severe, affecting at least four times as many properties with thousands of evacuations being called for by the State Emergency Service. As of 18 January, more than 51 communities had been affected by the floods. A total of over 1,730 properties had been flooded. Over 17,000 homes lost their electricity supply. The floods forced VicRoads to close hundreds of roads; and train services were also disrupted. The floods devastated farms with 51,700 hectares of pasture and 41,200 hectares of field crops flooded and 6,106 sheep killed. The Victorian Employers Chamber of Commerce and Victorian Farmers Union initially estimated that damages would amount to hundreds of millions of dollars, but the Department of Primary Industries later calculated a damage bill of up to A$ 2 billion. Kevin Parkyn, a senior forecaster with the Bureau of Meteorology said, "Victoria is experiencing one of its worst flood events in its history" after "a week in which rainfall totals have been smashed in parts of Victoria." Bureau of Meteorology senior forecaster Terry Ryan said, "It's the worst flood in western Victoria in their history as far as our records go in terms of the depth of water and the number of places affected." The Premier of Victoria, Ted Baillieu, has described it as "one of the biggest floods in the state's history." (en)
  • Les inondations de 2011 dans l'État de Victoria furent causées par des précipitations de haute intensité entre le 12 et le 14 janvier 2011 sur une grande partie de l'ouest et du centre de l'État australien de Victoria. Plusieurs épisodes de fortes précipitations ont suivi, y compris le cyclone Yasi, ont provoqué des crues soudaines répétées dans les zones touchées au début février dans de nombreuses communautés touchées par les inondations de janvier.
