Heed the warnings that we give … and keep safe. We don’t want to lose any more community members to this significant event.
The difference with this significant weather event is we’re coming out of a very wet period for La Niña and we’re not in a drought. We’ve had saturated lands right across NSW.
So that means we expect the waters to act differently. There is nowhere for it to go. We expect some high tides in the next few days as well, which makes it difficult for rivers to flow out to the ocean.
