Weather by Rebekah Scanlan 15th Dec 2020 5:25 AM More storms are set to smash a 1000 km stretch of Australia's east coast, with a combination of high-spring tides and severe weather warnings in place as residents rush to protect properties. The Bureau of Meteorology (BOM) has issued dangerous weather warnings for northeast New South Wales and southeast Queensland as the areas continue to be lashed with wild storms that are leading to significant coastal erosion. Residents have been told to expect "damaging winds and heavy rainfall" in Queensland while NSW fared no better, with the BOM stating "dangerous rain and coastal erosion" is expected to worsen in the affected areas.
