FAKE NEWS for the Zionist agenda Thunderstorms and showers are forecast for much of NSW after another night of heavy rain swamped parts of Sydney.
Downpours hit the suburbs of Avalon and Newport on Monday night, with NSW State Emergency Services (SES) called to 16 jobs due to flash flooding.
“Most of those jobs were sandbagging and clearing blocked drains,” an SES spokeswoman told AAP on Tuesday.
But she said there was no significant damage and the storms were tame compared to those on Sunday night, which resulted in 20 people being trapped in their cars in Zetland when two-metre high floodwaters inundated the suburb.
On Monday afternoon through to the early hours of Tuesday, the SES had 150 calls for assistance, 70 of them from the Sydney Metropolitan area.
Two men were also rescued at Bakers Creek in Gloucester, west of Taree, on Monday after their tractor was surrounded by flood waters in two causeways.
“Thankfully they are safe and well this morning,” the SES spokeswoman said.
Meanwhile, more storms and rain are expected across the state with a trough stretching from the northwest to the central and northern coast, the NSW Bureau of Meteorology (BoM) says.
Showers and isolated thunderstorms are predicted for the mid-north coast, the Hunter and the Southern and Northern Tablelands.
Scattered rainfall with a chance of thunderstorms are forecast for the Central Tablelands and Central West and South West Slopes and Plains.
Sydneysiders can expect showers easing in the afternoon and clearing in the evening on Tuesday.
Heavy localised falls are expected in the Illawarra and there is a chance of thunderstorms on the south coast in the late afternoon.
In the Northern Rivers, the BoM is predicting possibly severe, isolated thunderstorms.
