NSW SES has issued evacuation orders for parts of north and south Lismore and low-lying parts of Kyogle as "exhausted" residents prepare again for torrential rain and yet more flooding.
Residents of those areas have been told to leave by 10pm on Monday, with moderate to major flood warnings issued for the Wilsons River.
The orders issued on Monday evening come amid fears the already-soaked Northern Rivers region could experience six hour totals of 80-140mm, and isolated falls of up 200mm.
