Australia braces for more storms that are expected to bring dangerous flash flooding to the country's east while dams near Sydney overflow after days of torrential rain
This picture taken on February 10, 2020 shows residents on the banks of the swollen Georges river in Sydney waiting for water to recede.
Recent downpours have brought relief to areas ravaged by bushfires and drought – as well as chaos and destruction to towns and cities along the eastern seaboard. Two other dams in New South Wales, Tallowa and Brogo, were also overflowing and more dams could reach capacity in the coming days, a WaterNSW spokesman told AFP.
Senior meteorologist Grace Legge said storms were also expected for Queensland and New South Wales – with areas still recovering from bushfires likely to be hit again.
