The Bureau of Meteorology has issued a severe weather warning for NSW as damaging winds are expected to hit a 500km stretch of coastline. Locations including Sydney, Coffs Harbour, and Newcastle may be affected. People are advised to take precautions and stay away from fallen power lines.
The Bureau of Meteorology has issued a new severe weather warning for NSW as parts of the state continue to reel from damaging floods. Damaging winds are expected to hit a 500km stretch of NSW coastline from Tuesday night and not ease below warning thresholds until late Wednesday afternoon. Gusts of about 100km/h are forecast between Wooli, in the state’s north, and Wattamolla, south of Sydney .
“Forty-five per cent of floodwaters in the Hawkesbury, Richmond catchment don’t come over the top of Warragamba Dam, so we could be in a situation where we raise Warragamba, we spend $2 billion and those communities are still inundated by flooding,” he said on Tuesday. But Minns said the government would look at all potential changes, including dropping the maximum allowable water level at Warragamba, as long as Sydney’s drinking water supply could be supplemented.
