Cyclone and Bushfires Put Australia on Edge – Weeks of Crisis Predicted

Australia is facing extreme weather events, with Tropical Cyclone Koji causing widespread power outages in Queensland and uncontrolled bushfires in Victoria destroying thousands of acres of land and properties. Authorities warn that the situation will remain critical for weeks, as extinguishing the fires is extremely difficult. The fires in Victoria are the worst to hit Australia since the 'Black Summer' of 2019-2020. Thousands of firefighters and aircraft are on standby to deal with the disaster.
