A wild weather system continued to pummel the coast of New South Wales, Australia on Wednesday, bringing flash floods, forcing evacuations due to coastal erosion, and taking out power to thousands of homes. The New South Wales State Emergency Service stated that the storm generated "significant wave action", with waves reaching heights exceeding 12 metres, according to senior meteorologist Gabrielle Woodhouse. A coastal low-pressure system, described by meteorologists as a "bomb cyclone", smashed Australia's southeast coast overnight with wind gusts of more than 100 km/h, uprooting trees and damaging power lines. Roughly one month's worth of rain fell over six hours in some regions. More than 35,000 properties are without power in New South Wales, Australia's most populous state, after the storm overnight, outage data showed.
