Following Monday’s floods in numerous Sydney areas caused by persistent rainfall, authorities issued new evacuation orders for tens of thousands of Sydney residents and warned of more wild weather.
After certain locations in the state were pounded with roughly a month’s worth of rain over the weekend, an intense low-pressure system off Australia’s east coast is predicted to bring further severe rain through Monday across New South Wales.
Frustration increased in numerous neighborhoods in Sydney’s west when floods swamped homes, farms, and bridges there, some for the third time this year, forcing approximately 30,000 inhabitants of New South Wales state to evacuate.”The majority of them have just recovered from the previous flood, setting up their homes and businesses again, and regrettably, we are saying it is happening again.”
Local media said that an operation was underway to save 21 crew members from a cargo ship that had lost power south of Sydney and was in danger of being swept ashore.
