Some 115 warnings were in place on Wednesday night, with local residents in the path of flooding urged to head to higher ground and evacuate if they could. The SES carried out more than 300 flood rescues on Wednesday alone, using helicopters to winch stranded residents off their roofs.

NSW SES commissioner, Michael Wassing, said rescue conditions had been difficult and dangerous.
