Severe storms hit New South Wales - 9 Jun 07 - Severe storms have been battering
Australia’s east coast over the last few days, in particular New South Wales, smashing
boats, flooding roads and cutting power to hundreds of thousands. Five people have so
far been confirmed dead with several still missing.
A massive coal freighter ran aground further north near Newcastle. There are fears that
the freighter could break up and cause an environmental disaster.
The Bureau of Meteorology (Australia’s national weather service) said that the storms
dumped an incredible 300mm (12 inches) of rain in places.
