Thousands of residents along the NSW coast have been told to be ready to evacuate, with some of the state’s dams overflowing and torrential rain and flooding expected to continue into next week.
Hundreds of people were already evacuated in the area as the storm made its way down the coast. The Parramatta River in Sydney’s west broke its banks, local media carried photos of a house floating down a river on the state’s Mid-North coast.
