## Resource

Four people were stranded on the roof of their 4WD after it was swept away by floodwaters in Gippsland — a terrifying ordeal that unfolded despite a minor flood warning. With the engine dying and the vehicle carried downstream, they used a satellite phone to call for help, leading to a dramatic helicopter rescue. All four were safely winched to safety, uninjured but soaked, while their car remains lost in the river. Authorities are warning Victorians to never underestimate flood risks — even minor warnings mean avoid flooded roads.
