NSW SES Deputy Commissioner Debbie Platz said that 'the biggest risk area for us today, as we move forward with the intense rainfall' is on the state's South Coast, particularly around Sussex Inlet, Burrill Lake and Shoalhaven.
'It has been a very wild night … and we are not out of the woods yet,' she told Today.
'Where we're most concerned now is the southern flank of this system, which is really impacting the Illawarra region right down to Bega. We do expect that the rain will intensify, as will the wind gusts. But it doesn't mean that places like Sydney are out of the woods either.'
