NSW Towns Warned to Watch for Flooding After Storms Hit

Storm-battered towns in New South Wales have been warned to watch out for more flooding, which has already claimed four lives.
The latest victim was confirmed on Wednesday night when police divers retrieved the body of an 86-year-old woman whose car was washed off the road near Maitland that morning...
Three people were killed in Dungog, north of Newcastle, on Tuesday when floodwaters hit the town.
The Bureau of Meteorology says the worst of wild weather is over but has warned that flood peaks will still come on Thursday despite less rainfall across the state’s east coast.
Cyclonic conditions that have lashed Sydney and its surrounding regions for days have left a trail of destruction, including more than 200,000 homes without power as of Wednesday evening.
