Rescue workers are searching for a woman after the car she was a passenger in was swept away in floodwaters.
Emergency workers were called north of Cessnock in the Hunter region of NSW following reports a Mini car was grounded due to the floods about 8pm on Saturday.
The driver, a 27-year-old woman, managed to get out but the passenger, in her mid-20s, was dragged away with the strong current.
A search for the woman was suspended overnight and resumed on Sunday morning.
Meanwhile, State Emergency Service (SES) crews responding to the emergency managed to save a 40-year-old man who was stuck in a nearby tree due to floodwater.

The man was swept out of the tree but rescuers followed him in the water and managed to pull him to shore, and he was taken to hospital.

Both sides of the nation are facing wild weather, with high winds and storms expected in Western Australia and soggy conditions and flooding continuing for northern NSW.
Tens of thousands of households in the eastern state spent a night without power as heavy rain, floods and unprecedented snow wreaked havoc.
The SES has responded to more than 1455 call-outs related to rain, thunderstorms and snow.
Residents in some parts of Taree on the mid north coast have been asked to evacuate due to flooding, while warnings are in place for the Peel and Namoi Rivers at Tamworth, Manilla and Gunnedah.

Armidale and Guyra in New England had unprecedented snowfall and SES crews responded to more than 100 trapped cars.

A new low-pressure system is expected to push up the NSW coast on Sunday, but conditions are likely to ease by afternoon, the Bureau of Meteorology said.

Elsewhere, the bureau has issued a severe weather warning as a cold front moves through WA on Sunday, with damaging winds expected across the state’s southwest, affecting Perth, Albany, Bunbury, Margaret River and the goldfields.
“Most of these damaging wind gusts will be driven by showers and thunderstorms,” meteorologist Miriam Bradbury said.

Authorities warn surfers, fishers, swimmers and boating enthusiasts to stay clear of the coast amid dangerous swells.

More than 27,500 NSW homes and businesses experienced power disruptions, Essential Energy said on Saturday night.
People have been urged to stay at least eight metres away from fallen power lines, power poles and damaged electricity equipment.
Lightning temporarily forced the Wallabies and British and Irish Lions to seek cover during Saturday night’s clash in Sydney, before the Australians managed to avoid a series whitewash.
Much of the match was played in torrential rain, while lightning early in the second half forced a rare 38-minute stoppage as several hundred fans were forced to evacuate the stadium to take shelter.
