Residents along Hawkesbury River told to evacuate in the middle of the night as NSW braces for another day of wild weather
Greater Sydney’s Hawkesbury Nepean Valley – including major urban centre Penrith – is expected to experience its worst flooding in 60 years as people around NSW are forced from their homes by incessant rain and overflowing rivers.
The state’s emergency service says it will be working beyond Easter on the post-flood clean-up effort and restoration of key services in affected areas.
