    In late February and early March 2022, persistent heavy rain in north-east NSW broke all records, with some areas recording well over 1 metre of rain.

    The Richmond, Hawkesbury–Nepean, Wilsons, Tweed, Brunswick, Clarence, Lower Hunter and Paterson rivers and Wollombi Brook all flooded, inundating properties and whole townships. At Lismore, the floodwaters peaked at 14.4 metres, more than 2 metres above the previous records set in 1954 and 1974.'

    This was caused by a cyclone was it?

    Or this?
    'On February 13, 2024, Victoria experienced a catastrophic storm event that damaged 12,000 km of powerlines and poles across the state’s electricity distribution businesses, causing power outages that impacted more than 500,000 homes and businesses.'
