新州沿岸預料今天將繼續受惡劣天氣影響，多個地區將出現暴雨、強風及大浪，成千上萬居民失去電力供應。
電力公司昨日已為10萬多名受影響的居民搶修電力供應。
新州緊急服務處警告，預測 Hawkesbury River 及 George's River 一帶地區洪水水位將達至數十年來的最高水平，當局要求當地居民撤離。
當局又指，西雪梨 Milperra 、Chipping Norton及利物浦等地區將出現特大水浸，如果居民不離開，有機會被困於斷水斷電的狀態。
雪梨北區Narrabeen Lagoon的居民亦被敦促撒離，並指今次有可能比2016年的水災更為嚴重。
自上週五開始爆發水浸以後，緊急服務收到大量求助電話，同時極端天氣令雪梨交通大混亂。
新州救護服務發言人Giles Buchanan昨午表示，「道面濕滑加上強風吹襲，釀成交通大混亂。自上週五晚起，緊急救護人員每五小時接獲一宗文通意外」。
他續表示：「我們亦接獲大樹塌下壓倒汽車、房屋和單位的求助，亦有司機被困在水浸的車廂內」。
