A powerful bomb cyclone has struck Sydney and the New South Wales (NSW) coast, bringing heavy rains, strong winds, and hazardous surf conditions. The storm has caused widespread disruptions including flash flooding, toppling trees, and flooding roads. More than 35,000 homes in southeastern Australia have lost power, and nearly 1,900 weather-related incidents have been reported across the region. Transport infrastructure has been severely affected, with train lines suspended and over 87 flights canceled by airlines including Qantas and Virgin Australia. Approximately five million people have been forced to take shelter as emergency crews respond to the ongoing crisis. Sydney's main dam has spilled over due to the torrential rain, and authorities have issued flood emergency warnings. The bomb cyclone is expected to continue bringing damaging winds and wild weather to NSW, prolonging travel chaos and power outages.
