Severe Weather Warning Cancelled

16/03/2017 08:21 AM

Overnight NSW SES received 100 jobs, bringing the overall total for this weather event to 1038 jobs across the NSW for leaking and damaged roofs, trees down and sandbagging as a result of severe thunderstorms that lashed the state over the last few days.

The majority of jobs were centred around The Hills, Dubbo, Coffs Harbour, Blacktown and Lismore City and with more rainfall expected in North Eastern NSW, NSW SES anticipate jobs will increase throughout the day, with a focus moving further south into the Mid North Coast.

The locations and job breakdown:

  • The Hills 107 jobs
  • Dubbo 74 jobs
  • Coffs Harbour 71 jobs
  • Blacktown 54 jobs
  • Lismore City 49 jobs

Yesterday, NSW SES volunteers were called out to an aged care facility at Caves Beach (Lake Macquarie) for a roof damaged by significant wind activity. This affected up to 51 residents. No injuries were reported.

The Bureau of Meteorology has cancelled the Severe Weather Warning this morning but several warnings remain in place, in relation to the weather including minor flood warnings for Wilsons, Hastings and Orara Rivers. With final flood warnings for both the Brunswick River, Marshalls Creek and Coffs Creek. To view all current NSW warnings you can visit the Bureau’s website here: http://bit.ly/1dPyboF
