Tens of thousands of NSW residents were without electricity on Monday, with torrential rain expected to bring more heavy flooding and cause rivers to rise to their highest levels in years, perhaps decades.
The devastating storms that brought from strong winds and damaging surf at the weekend are making their way out of eastern NSW and into Victoria’s bushfire-hit regions.

Heavy rain could be enough to help firefighters make gains on fires still burning across Victoria. But the threat of flooding and landslides has authorities worried and firefighters bracing for potential damage to roads across the eastern parts of the state.
In Sydney, police divers are searching for a man who is missing after his car was swept off a causeway into floodwaters at Galston Gorge in the city’s north, the ABC reported.
Read the story from The New Daily - “More wild weather for swamped NSW as rain brings danger to Victoria.”
(Surely those who have doubted, questioned and argued against climate change, must be wondering about their choices, their position and rethinking their view that the recent chaotic weather is not the product of a disrupted climate system. Surely, they must now finally “come out” and agree to work with our communities to first, limit our carbon dioxide emissions and, second, help us understand adaption ideas - Robert McLean)
