A wave washed over a flipped-over car along a stretch of Gold Coast Beach in Queensland, Australia, Thursday. Tens of thousands of homes were left without power and hundreds of schools closed due to a wind storm that pounded the coast and brought torrential rains. Two states declared a disaster zone and one man was killed earlier this week by a flying sheet of metal in high winds. (Eddie Safarik/Agence France-Presse/Getty Images)
