NSW South Coast Faces Renewed Flooding, Thousands Displaced, Power Outages

News summary

New South Wales is currently grappling with severe weather caused by a coastal low pressure system that has brought heavy rainfall, strong winds, flooding, and power outages across the region. Areas such as Burrill Lake and Ulladulla have experienced significant flooding and damage to homes and businesses, with concerns mounting over high tides and further rainfall expected to exacerbate conditions. Authorities, including the NSW State Emergency Service (SES), have mobilized over 1,000 volunteers to respond to emergencies, issuing warnings of flash flooding and advising residents to stay indoors and avoid driving through floodwaters. The storm is especially troubling for communities still recovering from devastating floods in May, with many residents and farmers facing renewed anxiety and financial hardship due to repeated weather events. Mental health experts warn of increased trauma and PTSD among flood survivors, who remain on high alert during heavy rain and continue to struggle with the psychological impacts of ongoing disasters. Residents are urged to stay prepared, monitor local forecasts, and heed emergency advice as the storm system is expected to intensify and bring additional rainfall through the coming days.
