'I've lost everything except my laptop and phone': Incredible images shared on social media of NSW floods
Residents across NSW have shared incredible images on social media as extreme rainfall and flooding rivers wipe whole towns off the map.
With areas like Port Macquarie, Kempsey and Kendall copping an astonishing 400mm of rainfall in a single day, thousands of locals have been left stranded at their properties while others have evacuated to higher ground.
Many have taken to Facebook, Twitter and Instagram to share their images of destruction, of hope and of humour.
