Two days after cyclone Debbie slammed into Australia’s northeast coast as a category 4 storm, a nearly 2-meter long bullshark was found on a formerly flooded road.

Residents of Queensland had been warned to stay out of flood waters, apparently for good reason.

Queensland suffered widespread damage from the strong storm.
