In Australia, more than a dozen towns across the state of New South Wales have been declared natural disaster zones, following persistent, heavy rains that have resulted in flash-flooding and forced thousands of residents to evacuate their homes.
#NSWRFS crews are assisting #NSWSES in a number of ways from clearing blocked drains to removing fallen trees and even flood rescue operations, as was undertaken yesterday in the Taree area. Stay safe and up to date by following @BOM_NSW and @NSWSES. (Video: Kathryn Elizabeth).
On the mid-north coast, an entire house was filmed floating down the Manning River, as Australians all across the state face the loss of their homes, their businesses, their pets and livestock.

Old Bar locals have rescued a calf from the surf this morning. It’s believed the poor thing washed down the flooded Manning River. Resident Maxine Pertzel sent me this picture and says the calf is now in a nearby paddock and doing well 🐮 #NSWFloods
