Evacuation orders and warnings to prepare to abandon homes were given to 50,000 people, up from 32,000 on Monday.
Parts of southern Sydney had been lashed by more than 20 centimeters of rain in 24 hours, more than 17% of the city’s annual average, Bureau of Meteorology meteorologist Jonathan How said.
“The good news is that by tomorrow afternoon, it is looking to be mostly dry but, of course, we are reminding people that these floodwaters will remain very high well after the rain has stopped,” How said. “Well, it happened in 1986 and ’88, then it didn’t happen for 28 years and, so, 2016 and 2020 and now it’s happened four times this year,” a Lansvale local identified only as Terry told Australian Broadcasting Corp. television of his home being flooded.
An attempt to tow the ship with tugboats into open ocean ended when a towline snapped in an 11-meter swell late Monday, Port Authority chief executive Philip Holliday said.
