Extreme weather across three states is expected to ease as the clean-up gets under way after strong winds left a woman dead, homes destroyed and towns on flood watch, Australian Associated Press reports. The wind and rain, which started on Sunday night, resulted in the death of a 63-year-old woman after a tree struck a cabin at a holiday park in Moama, on the NSW-Victoria border.
At one point more than 120,000 Victorians were without power, and 660 homes damaged on Monday following a night of pulsing winds and abnormally high tides. The Bureau of Meteorology’s senior meteorologist Sarah Scully said that while the worst of the weather had taken place, some damage was still to come. “We’re expecting the winds to gradually ease from the west ... and for all of the wind warnings to be cancelled by late ,” she said.
