As if a cyclone, record-breaking floods, power outages and water shortages weren't enough, north Queensland communities are also having to deal with the threat of crocodiles popping up in unusual places.

Chloe Chomicki, an ABC reporter, on Monday captured video of a crocodile in a drain in Ingham and they've also been spotted in the Indigenous community of Wujal Wujal, where nine people spent the night huddled on the roof of the local hospital.
