Sydney Morning Herald
Northern NSW towns are on high alert for major flooding as ex-Tropical Cyclone Alfred moves inland, bringing torrential rain to the already saturated region. Although the flood warning for Lismore has been downgraded, concerns remain about the potential for severe flooding in nearby areas. With the region already waterlogged, the heavy rainfall is expected to exacerbate the situation, leading to potential flash flooding and damage to properties. Residents are advised to stay vigilant and monitor weather updates, as the situation continues to unfold. Key areas of concern include flood-prone zones and low-lying areas, where floodwaters could rise rapidly.
