ABC weatherman says some NSW flood figures could be wrong but still 'hell of a drenching' | ABC NEWS
Parts of NSW have received more than 200mm of rain in 24 hours, leading to dozens of flood rescues and residents being evacuated from their homes.
Riverine and flash flooding is affecting the Hunter and Mid North Coast and numerous warnings are in place.
People are urged to exercise caution and avoid floodwater as the rain travels north.
News Breakfast’s Nate Byrne says one station’s figure of 443mm is questionable due to surrounding gauge’s numbers, but the rainfall is still extremely high.
