CLEAN-UP AFTER DEADLY WEATHER
The clean-up is set to get underway today after extreme weather across three states left a woman dead, homes destroyed and towns on flood watch, AAP reports.
Strong winds and rain, which began on Sunday evening, resulted in the death of a 63-year-old woman after a tree struck a cabin at a holiday park in Moama near the NSW-Victoria border on Monday, Nine News said. Her husband was taken to hospital and treated for minor injuries.
The AAP reports more than 120,000 Victorians were left without power on Monday due to the weather, with 660 homes damaged by the winds and abnormally high tides.
