Residents in New South Wales and Victoria are finally getting a break from the relentless winds that have been battering their homes. However, the Bureau of Meteorology is warning that this calm won't last long as a new round of extreme weather is expected to hit the region soon.
According to the bureau, a severe weather warning has been issued for central and eastern Victoria, as well as southeastern New South Wales, including the Illawarra region. This comes after yesterday's damaging winds caused a tragic death and left thousands without power in Victoria. The forecasters predict that these strong winds will redevelop over the eastern and southeastern parts of the state starting tonight.
Gusts averaging 60km/h to 70km/h are expected, with alpine areas potentially seeing winds reaching over 100km/h. The bureau has also issued a gale warning for a large part of the Victorian coast, including Port Philip and the Gippsland region. In New South Wales, a strong wind warning has been issued for the Eden coast.
Emergency workers in both states have been working tirelessly to respond to hundreds of calls for help caused by the wild weather. Unfortunately, one man lost his life in Victoria's southwest when a tree fell on his car. His female passenger was airlifted to the hospital in critical condition.
Today, residents are assessing the damage caused by the destructive winds. Powercor, an energy provider, has reported that most of its affected customers have had their power restored. Meanwhile, southwestern parts of Western Australia are also bracing for the incoming extreme weather. Gusts of 90km/h to 100km/h are expected to impact cities like Albany, Bunbury, Esperance, Mandurah, and Margaret River.
