Flooding Photos: Canada, Australia, Switz., Oman
The Associated Press has brought us* several compelling photos of flooding across the world this weekend:
A washed out section of road is seen on the New South Wales central coast 80 kms (48 miles) north of Sydney, Saturday, June 9, 2007. The bodies of a man and two children were also discovered in an area where police were searching for a family of five who went missing when their car fell into a swollen creek after a section of highway collapsed. Emergency crews began cleaning up the damage after heavy rains brought flash flooding, landslides and blackouts across eastern New South Wales state overnight, prompting thousands of distress calls to emergency services.

Debris is strewn around an overturned car in Muscat, Sultanate of Oman, Saturday, June 9, 2007. Cyclone Gonu romped through the tidy Omani capital on Thursday before heading north across the Gulf of Oman and hitting Iran. At the height of the storm in Oman, winds swept up to 95 mph (153 kph), according to the U.S. military's Joint Typhoon Warning Center. Oman's weather center said that Gonu was believed to be the strongest and deadliest storm to strike Oman since 1977, when 500 people were killed. (AP Photos/Hamid Al-Qasmi)
