Major flooding has returned to New South Wales with more than 30,000 people given evacuation orders or warnings as heavy rain continues, with some communities inundated for the fourth time this year. The flood risk will remain even after the rain stops, with saturated catchments likely to react quickly to any rain in the next couple of weeks.
