  The Army has deployed two Black Hawk helicopters to help with flood evacuations, as Queensland and northern New South Wales deal with torrential rainfall, major flooding and tornado activity. Southern Queensland, including Brisbane and the Sunshine Coast, is on tornado watch, with high winds expected until at least 8pm as ex-tropical cyclone Oswald makes its way south towards NSW. An elderly man's body has been recovered from waters at Burnett Heads, while a woman and a man are missing in floodwaters in Maryborough and Gympie. Residents in Bundaberg North have been told to evacuate, with hundreds of homes and businesses in the city at risk of flooding as the Burnett River rises. At least 21 swift-water rescues have taken place and severe weather warnings have been issued for regions stretching from central Queensland to the NSW border.
