As promised by forecasters, big parts of NSW and Victoria have been hit by supercell storms. More than 60 homes were flooded on NSW’s South Coast after more than 330mm of rain fell in the Ulladulla area, while more than 100mm fell in Deniliquin in the southwest. The State Emergency Service says its crews responded to at least 370 calls for assistance along the South Coast and warned people to steer clear of floodwaters. Victoria didn’t get off scot-free either – residents in Gippsland, northeast and southwest Victoria were put on flood watch. Emergency crews responded to more than 180 calls for help over the 24 hours to yesterday morning, with many coming from Swan Hill and the Mallee region, one of the areas hit hardest by last year’s mega floods.
