The major storm cell hitting Sydney has now turned deadly. Authorities called today a life-threatening emergency situation and late this afternoon police confirmed a man died in floodwaters near Abbotsford.
An east coast low which has already triggered serious flooding is now moving closer to Sydney threatening even more rain, thunderstorms and strong winds.
At the same time, Warragamba Dam has been spilling since 2 am, worsening flood peaks across the region.

Eh my condolences to the Ozzies effected. Your a tough team. It will take more than rain to beat you.
Stay safe Australia.
I love seeing the Sikh community in action. They run the best restaurants and are leaders in community charity and aid.
It is a deluge.. much respect to rescue workers! 🇳🇿

It’s because they are seeding. That’s why the rain 🌧 is coming all the time.
Who said australia is the lucky country
Turn too God!
I thought the BOM were talking about this for about a week before it hit. that heavy and persistent rains were on the way for Sydney. So why didn't the government open the gates at the dam to allow a controlled flow of water? having the water levels drop for a week or even a few days might have averted or at alleviated the flooding. why is the Liberal government in n.s.w. always reactive instead of proactive.
Good time to take up fishing mate.
Birth pains get worse closer you get to birth, what has occurred thus far is but small compare to what else is to come on world because of it sins. Ye won't stop what comes storms like never seen before and earthquakes in a time, volcano eruptions one after another, meteorites and a asteroid in a time, and sadly wars and famines and more diseases. Behavior of Australia during covid-19 has only brought it greater consequences under universal law. Ye became worse and changed not even with the chastisements, when lock down ended ye returned to sin in celebration, and during it you attacked the free agency given to all mortal souls, because of fear sought to force vaccines upon people and lied in your medias over and over, faithless generation filled in hypocrites, ye see not what future holds and the consequence of your way of life. Every prophecy given by real prophets in scripture shall unfold in this generation.
To all our brothers and sisters in Australia, I am praying that the angels of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ surround all of you in Australia, to protect you and keep you from harm. We are praying for your precious families right now. <><
don’t forget it happened to Noah and could be a warning to happen again!
The Australia regime is finally paying the price for its genocide and cultural cleansing of indigenous people.

Weather by design, & if people don't believe that, then they were underwater way before this storm moved in! Stay safe people & don't take any chances! To all SES & other helpers you are true hero's, stay safe.
No sympathy for those flooded out. Whenever you transfer ANY property, if it is in a flood prone zone of 1 in 500 years, it must be disclosed to the buyer. If you buy in a flood prone area, it's on you.
Nothing from Fox News?
Bet you the Bush ppl are safe
