Major flood devastation across NSW, as rescue efforts continue

Published
Four people have died in floods that have devastated parts of NSW and 50,000 people are still isolated. The Insurance Council says they have already received nearly 2000 claims, but many people still haven’t been able to return to their homes or businesses to assess the damage. Dozens of roads remain closed due to flooding and the rain band has continued to move south, but in the NSW Mid North Coast where rain is easing, the extent of the disaster is now becoming known.
