mrmoshe Posted June 9, 2007 Share Posted June 9, 2007 Looks like the weather the Newcastle area experienced yesterday is heading south and Sydney is due to get some very heavy downpours today. Might be a good time to secure anything loose around the house and make sure your drains etc. are clear of debris. From the S.M.H. this morning: Wild weather heading to Sydney TORRENTIAL rain that has wreaked havoc on the NSW Hunter and Central Coast regions is expected to move south and lash Sydney later today. Two people have died and there are grave fears for a family of five missing after a Central Coast road collapsed, sending their car crashing down an embankment and into a flooded creek. The wild weather has forced Premier Morris Iemma to declare a natural disaster in the Hunter and Central Coast regions amid flooding, evacuations, strandings, blackouts, landslides, commuter and traffic chaos and thousands of calls to emergency services. The Bureau of Meteorology warned the public not to be lulled into a false sense of security by an apparent easing of conditions this morning as winds were expected to crank up to gale force later. "The low pressure system is slowly moving south so the good news is it's stopped absolutely pelting down in Newcastle and the Central Coast but now Sydney's getting the brunt of it, and it's also becoming heavier in the Illawarra,'' said bureau forecaster Julie Evans. "The winds have dropped a little bit in some areas now but we are expecting another surge of winds up the coast this afternoon.'' Ms Evans predicted rain falls of up to 100mm in Sydney today and slightly more in the Illawarra. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
