There were extraordinary scenes across Sydney on Tuesday after hours of torrential rain soaked an already saturated city.
Roads turned to rivers and a bridge was inundated, with some suburbs almost entirely cut off on the northern beaches where more than 100mm of rain fell in six hours.
Tens of thousands of residents were ordered to evacuate in Sydney’s north and south-west and many more were warned to prepare to leave, including some in Manly.
Here, you can see photographs taken on Tuesday alongside Google Street View images of the same locations.
