A search for occupants of a vehicle swept away by floodwaters in north-eastern NSW is underway today as flood warnings remain in place across the state’s mid-north coast.
Emergency services found the vehicle submerged in water and unoccupied in Limpinwood around 9:30pm yesterday.
In the past 24 hours, State Emergency Services (SES) carried out a total of seven flood rescues in Bulahdelah, Mount George, Bendolba, and Dungog, all north-east of Newcastle.
Since the bad weather began last Wednesday, the service has received 8292 incidents, with 1692 incidents in the past 24 hours – the majority of them in Metro areas.
