Tiny island in eye of storm as mainland crisis eases
Communities are dealing with fallen trees and powerlines, dam spillage and flying trampolines in the aftermath of a wild weather system that battered Australia's east coast and is now bearing down on a popular small island. The downpour was driven by a "vigorous" east coast low, which the Bureau of Meteorology predicts will move into the Tasman Sea on Thursday. The "complex and rapidly deepening" system will continue to bringing rain, storms, windy conditions and elevated seas in coming days. Residents on Lord Howe Island, in the Tasman Sea east of Port Macquarie, have been warned to prepare for the storm, with waves hitting more than five metres. Sixth generation Islander Anthony Riddle, who runs a gin distillery business, said it was all part of the expected weather patterns during winter, with the roof of the police station blowing off the only notable casualty so far. "The island's quite resilient because you've got a lot of trees, and part of the building code on the island here is all the houses have to be built below the tree line," he told AAP on Thursday. "There's no houses on the foreshore, so we won't have any houses affected by any coastal erosion. It's business as usual." With 380 residents, the island has a cap of 400 on the number of tourists allowed to visit at any one time and winter is the season when it is at its lowest. "You do get these lows hanging off the Australian coast so it is a normal weather pattern for us," Mr Riddle said. More than 4000 incidents have been logged to the NSW State Emergency Service since the weather event began on Monday. The highest number of jobs at about 500 were recorded in Sydney where trees and powerlines have fallen on vehicles and roofs. There have been 12 flood rescues across the state with authorities repeating calls to not drive through floodwaters. "Weather has eased and people are starting to move...(but) we are continuing to monitor river systems and coastal catchments," SES Deputy Commissioner Debbie Platz. "This has been a very widespread and dynamic system," she said signalling the conclusion of the event in the coming days. Ms Platz said with some rises in rivers, the focus will be on low-lying areas in the North Richmond area, west of Sydney, as well as for communities along the Peel River near Tamworth. As of Thursday, about 3000 Endeavour Energy customers were without electricity, down from a peak of 30,000, and Ausgrid reported more than 45,000 had power cuts with about 1650 still being worked on. The Bureau of Meteorology's Gabrielle Woodhouse said minor flooding was still occurring in several parts of the state. There was good news for communities in Sanctuary Point and Burrill Lake near Jervis Bay after emergency warnings were downgraded overnight. But the state won't be in the clear yet with a trough moving through on Sunday. "This could bring some thunderstorms to parts of the ranges of the South Western Slopes and also much more wind during the middle part of next week," Ms Woodhouse said. Meanwhile, water flowing out of Australia's largest urban water supply will potentially add to the risk of flooding. Warragamba Dam west of Sydney started flowing late Wednesday and is currently at a rate of 53 gigalitres per day and could peak to 60 GL later on Thursday, Water NSW said. Spills at the dam are not uncommon, previously occurring in May, and three times in 2024.

Wind and surf warnings remain as wild weather starts easing in NSW
After causing wild weather in NSW this week, a weakening low-pressure system is now drifting north off the state's coast, according to the Bureau of Meteorology (BoM). "A series of low-pressure systems remain in the Tasman Sea. A secondary low that was moving northwards just offshore from the NSW coast has begun to weaken," BoM said in a statement on Thursday morning. "Winds are expected to ease about the high terrain in the north of the state later during the morning." The NSW State Emergency Services (SES) still has 32 warnings in place across the state, maintaining its orders from earlier this week for people in Wamberal and North Entrance to evacuate. 'Strong to damaging' winds According to the BoM, severe weather no longer affects the Hunter, metropolitan, Illawarra, and south coast districts, and the warning for these areas has been cancelled. But "strong to damaging" winds averaging 55 to 65km/h, with peak gusts of about 100km/h, are still likely in parts of the Northern Tablelands, the mid-north coast hinterland, and around the Border Ranges, and are expected to ease later on Thursday morning. Locations which may be affected include eastern metropolitan Sydney, Wollongong, Ulladulla, and Tenterfield. Six-metre-high waves In another statement, BoM has warned about damaging surf conditions for coastlines between Seal Rocks and the NSW-Victorian border. "These conditions are expected to begin easing during the day. Initially for southern coastlines, later during Thursday morning, and may ease throughout the warning area by late Thursday afternoon," it said. Waves with heights exceeding six metres have been observed in some of these areas. Severe warning for Lord Howe Island The bureau has also issued a severe weather warning for damaging winds for Lord Howe Island, 600km east of Port Macquarie. A complex low-pressure system "is bringing notably windy conditions and elevated seas to Lord Howe Island today", according to BoM. SES has advised people on the island to: Keep clear of fallen power lines. Stay indoors, away from windows, and keep children indoors. Check your property regularly for erosion or inundation by sea water, and if necessary, raise goods and electrical items. Stay out of the water and stay well away from surf-exposed areas. Warragamba Dam starts to spill WaterNSW has reported that the Warragamba Dam, located about 65km west of Sydney, started to spill last night. It has been predicted the peak outflows will reach approximately 60 gigalitres per day. WaterNSW said: "If you are downstream of the dam, stay away from fast flowing or deep water and never drive, ride or walk through floodwater."
