Tisuće Australaca bez struje uslijed jake kiše i razornih vjetrova

Deseci tisuća ljudi u australskoj državi Novi Južni Wales ostali su bez struje u subotu nakon što je sustav niskog tlaka donio razorne vjetrove i obilne kiše, što je izazvalo upozorenja na poplave.

Oko 28.000 ljudi ostalo je bez struje u Sydneyu, glavnom gradu države i najvećem australskom gradu, a 15.000 nije imalo struje u obližnjem gradu Newcastleu i regiji Hunter, objavila je elektroenergetska tvrtka Ausgrid na svojoj web stranici u subotu ujutro.

Državna agencija za hitne slučajeve primila je 2825 poziva za pomoć od petka, uglavnom za srušena stabla i imanja oštećena vjetrom, navodi se. 

Upozorenja na poplave, razorne vjetrove i obilne kiše aktualna su za mnoge dijelove države, rekao je nacionalni meteorolog.

Dodao je da su vjetrovi s udarima do 100 kilometara na sat vjerojatno nad alpskim područjima.

Upozorenja dolaze nakon što su oluje ovog tjedna srušile drveća i dalekovode te ostavile 200.000 ljudi bez struje u Novom Južnom Walesu, izvijestili su lokalni mediji.
