New South Wales rivers are being monitored after a deluge tipped dams over capacity, threatening to bring floods even after rain across the state eases. Heavy falls bucketed on Sydney and surrounding areas as a surface trough lingered over the coast to close the week. Minor flooding in Sackville North in northwest Sydney prompted the NSW SES to direct people in parts of the suburb to evacuate in the early hours or risk becoming trapped.
Those who remain may find themselves trapped without power, water and other essential services and it could be too dangerous to rescue them, the SES warned. June is the third consecutive month the dam has spilled. Other low-lying parts of Sydney, along the Georges River at Chipping Norton in the city’s southwest, were also advised to prepare to flee rising floodwaters. Those areas warned to prepare to evacuate are not strangers to flood activity in recent years.
