Obviously this is for Newcastle, Australia, since it is part of Aussie Zone. We also welcome input from adjoining Lake Macquarie. Keep it clean and don't be mean.

In short:

Parts of NSW have received more than 200mm of rain in 24 hours, leading to dozens of flood rescues and residents being evacuated from their homes.

Riverine and flash flooding is affecting the Hunter and Mid North Coast and numerous warnings are in place.

What's next?

People are urged to exercise caution and avoid floodwater as the rain travels north.
