New South Wales (NSW) continues to grapple with the aftermath of a powerful bomb cyclone, with severe wind warnings still in effect and tens of thousands of homes left without power.
Although conditions are expected to improve by Thursday, the Bureau of Meteorology (BoM) has warned of damaging wind gusts reaching up to 100 km/h across parts of the Northern Tablelands, Mid North Coast hinterland, and Border Ranges.
According to BoM, a series of low-pressure systems in the Tasman Sea are responsible for the wild weather. While a secondary low is weakening as it moves offshore, it continues to generate strong to gale-force southwesterly winds and large southeasterly waves, impacting coastal areas.
Since the storm system intensified earlier this week, the NSW State Emergency Service (SES) has responded to over 3,800 incidents, including flood rescues, damaged homes, fallen trees, and downed powerlines.
Severe coastal erosion and damage to infrastructure are also expected along the coastline from Seal Rocks to the NSW-Victorian border, due to hazardous surf conditions.
While the NSW SES reports that winds are expected to ease as the system moves east, as of Wednesday evening, approximately 28,500 homes and businesses remain without power.
Emergency services continue to urge the public to stay alert and avoid unnecessary travel in affected regions.
