52 Photos That Show Just How Devastating The Rain Has Been In NSW

Goodbye, hell-fires. Hello, flood waters.

This summer, NSW suffered through the worst fire season on record.

MY COUNTRY IS ON FCKING FIRE AND NO ONE IS TALKING ABOUT IT!!!!!!!!!!! ITS BEEN GOING ON FOR WEEKS, IT HAS BURNT MORE LAND THAN THE AMAZON FIRES, FAMILIES ARE LOOSING THEIR HOMES PLEASE START DOING SOMETHING, EVEN IF ITS JUST TO RAISE AWARENESS!!!! #AUSTRALIANBUSHFIRES

And this weekend, the long-awaited arrival of rain was met with mixed feelings, as the state was subjected to wild winds and flooding for almost three days straight.
