Record NSW Floods Claim Four Lives, One Missing as Thousands Remain Without Power The NSW Mid North Coast is grappling with the aftermath of record floods that have claimed the lives of four people, with another still missing. Thousands are without power, and the situation remains critical. ABC News Australia reports from Coffs Harbour, where the most recent death was discovered around 4:30 this morning. A motorist driving past noticed a car that had left the road and entered floodwaters. Authorities attended the scene and found the body of a man believed to be in his 70s. "We've had four deaths associated with these floods," reports Emma Rennie, ABC News. The video shows footage of flooded streets, emergency crews rescuing people, and the extent of the damage. The reporter notes that the weather system is moving south, bringing the threat of more rain to Sydney and Newcastle. Emergency services are still very busy, with around 2200 SES volunteers on the ground, along with other agencies. Despite the tragedy, the video also captures moments of hope, showcasing the resilience of the community and the dedication of emergency responders. The rescue of a woman from floodwaters and a dog being saved underline the human cost and the ongoing efforts to provide aid.
