Authorities have warned that ‘blue sky floods‘ could hit eastern Oz over the coming days as vast amounts of water move downstream, creating new flood peaks. Residents of the NSW’s Forbes and Gunnedah are bracing for their worst flood on record. And with 50 out of 92 water storages in the Murray-Darling Basin full as a goog, many more towns are at risk. Victorians also face storms over the coming days and will shiver along with Tassie as a polar blast continues to bring unseasonably cool temperatures. And in South Australia, Riverland communities are being warned to expect high flows from the Murray River “well into January” due to upstream dam releases. Late yesterday, a body was found in the ongoing search for 2 Sydney fathers who went missing in NSW floodwaters earlier this week.
