Australia's eastern coast is involved in heavy rainfall, causing dangerous floods that make it mandatory to shift residents from some areas. The flood water swept through the house, blocked roads, and cut power.
In Australia's largest city, Sydney, authorities called on residents to stay at home because a large dam is full and water is beginning to emerge, and a small tornado struck the western suburb.
Most of Australia's 25 million people live on the coast of New South Wales, which already has a record of rainfall for March. Authorities have warned that the rainfall could continue for several days, Reuters writes, broadcast newspaper Express.
I hate to say this again for all citizens of the state, but it won't be an easy week for us. The rain may not stop until Thursday or Friday”, New South Wales Regional Minister Gladys Bereyklian said.
Until Saturday afternoon according to local time, authorities have issued nine orders for evacuation for about 15 areas the risk of flooding.
Television footage showed considerable damage to flooding, where water has reached the windows of homes and roads were blocked. One video shows a whole house moving out of the water. Local media reported that its owners have managed to leave in advance.
