Denial Is Hard to Grasp in the City. In Flooded Taree, It’s Bewildering

  • Seeanna Briscoe and her family were rescued by helicopter from their flooded home in Taree on Wednesday morning 2025 after rising waters trapped them on the roof.
  • The flood followed intense rain that swelled rapidly through their newly occupied three-level home, forcing the family to move progressively higher until they awaited rescue.
  • After losing all their belongings including cars, furniture, and electronics without insurance, the family is now homeless and spread among relatives on the Mid North Coast while Briscoe assists flood victims at the hospital.
  • More than 300 people were rescued from floodwaters in Taree during the one-in-500 year event that battered the Mid North Coast, with water levels dropping by Thursday morning.
  • The event highlights the challenges faced by rural communities amid extreme weather possibly linked to climate change, although experts say it is too early to determine its extent.
