Exotic grasses 'submerge' Australian town

The grass flooded the town, forming a pile of roofs. They filled the path, covered the car . and more and more when there was strong wind.

This bizarre grass is known as rolling grass , often appearing during the summer. In recent days, they suddenly have many abnormalities, almost "sinking" Wangaratta town, Victoria state, Australia.

"We have to spend hours cleaning the grass, but still not losing," said one resident named Pam Twitchett.

"It's frustrating with this situation," added one person named Jason Perna.

Rolling grass flooded houses in Wangaratta town, Australia.

It is believed that most of the grass originates from an uncultivated field of a local farmer and is increasing due to dry weather and strong winds.

"This grass is very, very light, but it is extremely sticky," Andrew Chuck, a spokesman for Wangaratta Town Council, told Fairfax Media.

He also said that on February 18, the Council held an emergency meeting to discuss this phenomenon and was considering bringing a road scanner with an exhaust fan to help clear the grass.

"We hope to help people clean up the grass. We are currently trying to find a solution," he said.

Roller grass , Latin name Panicum effusum , grows in many parts of Australia and can be up to half a meter tall. They can kill sheep if they eat them too much.
