Storm clean up to end on Monday - Daily Mail

The clean up from the two storms which have battered NSW should be finished by Monday.

Improving weather on Sunday afternoon has given the 1,500 NSW SES volunteers and the more than 500 helpers from interstate and local emergency services a chance to clear the backlog of more than 1,250 jobs logged during the past few weeks.

Only a few hundred jobs remain, mostly for leaking roofs and fallen trees, an SES spokesman told AAP.

About 120 calls for help were received by the SES overnight on Saturday, with 13 coming from Manly on Sydney's northern beaches.

A 68mm downpour caused some flash flooding but no one was injured.

People became trapped on the upper floor of a Balgowlah home on Sydney's northern beaches and had to be rescued when the lower level flooded.

Some flood warnings have been issued for several rivers in the state's north but there's no severe weather alerts in place.

"Those rivers are receding, didn't reach the particular heights they were looking at which is great," the SES spokesman said.

Four elderly people were left dead in NSW after flooding in the Hunter.

A six-year-old boy died after being found floating face down in the water at an unpatrolled South Ballina beach while five people, including a five-year-old boy, have been killed while trying to cross flood waters in Queensland.
