Four bodies have been pulled from vast tides of floodwater engulfing parts of northern New South Wales, a fertile region of rivers and valleys some 400 kilometres (250 miles) up the coast from Sydney.<\/p>\n<p>Salvage crews were preparing to embark on a major clean-up operation as waters started receding Friday morning, surveying the damage from half a year\u2019s worth of rain dumped in just three days. \u201cOur CBD was inundated, so many businesses have had water through and it\u2019s going to be a massive cleanup,\u201d said Kinne Ring, mayor of the flood-stricken farming town of Kempsey, referring to its central business district. \u201cHouses have been inundated,\u201d she told national broadcaster ABC. \u201cThere\u2019s water coming through the bottom of houses, it\u2019s really awful to see and the water is going to take a bit of time to recede.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>State Emergency Service boss Dallas Burnes said more than 2,000 workers had been deployed to the disaster zone. \u201cA real focus for us at the moment will be resupplying the isolated communities,\u201d he said, adding that 50,000 people were still stranded by the floods. Burnes said rescue crews had plucked more than 600 people to safety since the floods started rising earlier this week. Some people clambered atop cars, houses and highway bridges before helicopters winched them away.<\/p>\n<p>The storms have dumped more than six months\u2019 worth of rain over just three days, the government weather bureau has said, smashing flood-height records in some areas. \u201cWe are seeing levels in local tributaries, creeks and rivers that we haven\u2019t seen since 1920,\u201d state premier Chris Minns told reporters on Thursday. \u201cMany people will have never seen this level of inundation or flooding in their communities.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.digitaljournal.com\/world\/record-floods-devastate-eastern-australia\/article\">Read more&gt;&gt;<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Source: <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.digitaljournal.com\/world\/record-floods-devastate-eastern-australia\/article\">DJ<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>The post <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/vastuullisuusuutiset.fi\/fi\/vau-viikkokatsaus\/record-floods-devastate-eastern-australia\/\">Record floods devastate eastern Australia<\/a> appeared first on <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/vastuullisuusuutiset.fi\/fi\">Vastuullisuusuutiset.fi<\/a>.<\/p>","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[22],"tags":[616,896,606,607,608],"class_list":["post-140180","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-news","tag-australia","tag-flood","tag-vau_viikkokatsaus","tag-vauen","tag-vaufien"],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/140180","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=140180"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/140180\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=140180"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=140180"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=140180"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
