MELBOURNE/SYDNEY - A four-day downpour across Australia’s east coast has brought relief after months of devastating bushfires and years of drought, but also widespread storm damage and forecasts of more wild weather to come.
Some rural areas received more rain in recent days than they had in the entirety of the past year - a startling and swift turnaround from the bushfires that have killed 33 people and ravaged large parts of the east coast. James Jackson, a sheep and cattle farmer in the drought-hit Guyra district some 500 kilometers north of Sydney, told Reuters the region was starting to turn green again.
The NSW Rural Fire Service’s Sydney headquarters has been reconfigured to respond to floods and storm damage amid the rapid shift in the weather threat. There were 33 fires burning as of Monday morning in the state but they were all at the lowest warning level of “advice” and mostly in southeastern areas where the rains were headed.
