SYDNEY — Around 500,000 people in Sydney and its surrounding areas had by Thursday been told to evacuate or prepare to flee floodwaters as torrential rain lashed an extraordinarily long stretch of the Australian east coast.
Major flooding was expected along several rivers in and around Sydney. Dozens of suburbs were on high alert. Extraordinarily heavy rain brought flash floods to the Queensland state coast 310 miles north of the capital Brisbane last week and a south-moving low-pressure system had since brought the rain south of Sydney.
Several Brisbane suburbs remain flooded after the river that snakes through the city center peaked on Monday. “Because of the saturation, creeks are rising very, very quickly — drains, stormwater areas, water is bubbling up from below ground so it’s right across Brisbane,” Cawcutt added.Rick Rycroft
