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.

Storms lashing Sydney. Tree down in Potts Point has ripped up a gas pipe, forcing residents to be evacuated from the area til at least midnight. Thank you to @cityofsydney for sheltering residents at Rex Centre #NSWfloods

Drove out to Watson's Bay today. Due to the heavy rain and wind I have now seen an upside down waterfall. #NSWFloods #Waterfall #reverse We got soaked to say the least.

This is what it’s like driving across the Sydney Harbour Bridge right now ... we’ve gone from insane bushfires in NSW to this. Very low visibility, dangerous conditions on the road #sydneystorm @abcsydney
