"Hundreds of people across Victoria and South Australia have called for help
after heavy rain and severe storms lashed the two states.
Residents in Victoria’s north and north-east were warned to expect rainfall
totals up to 200mm when thunderstorms sweep across the state on Sunday and
Monday.
The town of Mangalore, two hours north of Melbourne, recorded almost 50mm of
rain between 9am and 5pm on Sunday, while Bendigo received 39mm, Puckapunyal
37mm and Kyabram and Wangaratta both had 29mm.
The Coomera river is seen cutting Clagiraba Road on the Gold Coast after heavy
rains.
The Victorian State Emergency Service had responded to more than 110 requests
for help and at least 53 flood-related rescues by Sunday afternoon.
SA and southern NSW were also expected to be affected by the major weather
event with the latter forecast to experience severe flash flooding to Tuesday."
