The water is deep, and some places are completely drowned by floods. Many residents had to leave their homes, and some were trapped because of the incompatibility of the road, and thousands of people encountered power outage.

Another local Sam's house was on the other side of the drowning road. She pointed at the house tears and said, "We don't know the situation on the second floor, but the first floor must be flooded." This is her this year. The second encounter is such a thing. Sam's house was washed in the flood in March. She had to move to live with her mother, and her mother must evacuate now. All this made her exhausted and emotional, she collapsed: "We just stood up again, just cleaned up and repaired the house, but now ..."

Although this is the third extreme flood disaster that people have suffered in 18 months, many people still say they don't want to move. However, everyone is exhausted. They must not only respond to the current crisis, but also to cope with the catastrophic weather events together.

Linda Strickland is the co -founder of a local charity. She has been helping the people here for many years, especially during the natural disaster. She said, "Everyone is shocked, and everyone is traumatized."

On Monday, Windsor's overwhelming road sign

On a street in Windsor, the people there were trapped, and the large farmland was completely drowned by the flood. She told the media: "The community is still recovering from the previous floods. And know that someone cares about them. "Reconstruction requires a long time, and she is worried that it will cause mental and psychological harm to community residents.

Stuart Reed, 55, has always lived in Windsor, saying that it was unprecedented. "The flood seems to have happened more frequently." He said, "In addition to causing trauma to people, the flood has also caused serious losses to the economy. I passed by the towns here, and half of the stores were closed."

Dominic Perod, Governor of New South Wales, said that after the fourth flood in some regions in less than two years, it is time to abandon the concept of "a hundred years of flood". The main dams of Sydney overflowed all night, and the authorities warned that the risk of floods was greater.

Local resident Croy Neis said that when she learned that she had to evacuate, she could only take things that could be taken. "Many things can't take it. We hope that our house is safe and life can return to normal . "When the reporter asked her what it was normal, she replied:" Without floods, the children bask in the park in the park, don't worry about whether they have a house. "
