Ex Tropical Cyclone (CAT 4) Debbie is a system that doesn't want to disappear. Severe Weather is now impacting Coastal Regions from Ayr (Tropical Northern area of Queensland) and as far South to the NSW Central Coast and possibly extending to include Sydney. 
There are several Warnings currently in place on both the NSW/QLD BOM Warning sites and the information contained within these warnings are being amended. 

Off the NSW Coast, Lord Howe Island is in Ex Debbie's path and has seen the NSW Office issue a Severe Weather Warning. This particular location has seen its second Warning in less than 2 months. 

Queensland Emergency Services have had a extremely busy period - rescuing motorists stranded in floodwaters. 
A Marine "Mayday" Call was heard by a private person ( location could be within the Fraser Island, Hervey Bay region) where a vessel enroute from Brisbane to Bundaberg was unable to handle the mountainous seas and resulted on beaching. The vessel will be secured for the night. 
There has been a Aviation Emergency to the west of Brisbane (Queensland) where a Helicopter crashed and as mentioned, the pilot walked away. 
Fire Services,Swiftwater teams also rescued 4 or more from their house due to rising floodwater. Numerous roads have been cut due to Debbie's power even as a Tropical Low/Depression. 
Major rainfall totals is a issue that will be mentioned in future updates. A apology for the quality of this video due to the severe weather at my HQ.
