Australia floods worsen as thousands more Sydney residents evacuate

SYDNEY, 06 July 2022, (TON): Officials said “hundreds of homes have been inundated in and around Australia’s largest city in a flood emergency that was impacting 50,000 people.”

State Emergency Service manager Ashley Sullivan said “emergency response teams made 100 rescues overnight of people trapped in cars on flooded roads or in inundated homes in the Sydney area.”

Days of torrential rain have caused dams to overflow and waterways to break their banks, bringing a fourth flood emergency in 16 months to parts of the city of 5 million people.
