Winds Return to Australia's South-East as Tasmania Battles Floods

Tasmania Reels from Record-Breaking Flooding

Tasmania has been grappling with devastating floods in recent days. The state has experienced record-breaking rainfall, leading to widespread inundation and displacement of residents.

On Tuesday, the Bureau of Meteorology issued a flood warning for the north and west of the state, as heavy rains continued to lash the region.

Several rivers have burst their banks, flooding homes, businesses, and roads. The SES has received hundreds of calls for assistance, and evacuation orders have been issued for affected areas.

Strong Winds to Hit South-East

As Tasmania grapples with the aftermath of the floods, strong winds are set to return to the south-east of the country.

The Bureau of Meteorology has issued a severe weather warning for parts of South Australia, Victoria, and Tasmania, with wind gusts of up to 100km/h predicted.

The strong winds are expected to cause damage to trees and powerlines, and could also lead to power outages.

Stay Informed and Take Precautions

Residents in affected areas are urged to stay informed and take precautions to ensure their safety.

The Bureau of Meteorology website provides regular updates on weather conditions, and the SES website has information on flood warnings and evacuation orders.

If you are in an affected area, it is important to listen to the advice of emergency services and follow any instructions given.
