Sydney has buckled down in preparation for their third once in 500 year flood this week, as forecasters predict a months worth of rain in the first days of the month, completely ruining everyones plans for ‘Dry July’.

The event marks the 20th ‘once in 500 year’ disaster to hit the state in 2 years, with the country having already grappled with 3 rounds of flooding, a mouse plague, bushfires, earthquakes, a pandemic, and the release of new music by Guy Sebastian.

The news of the latest disaster has not yet caused concern with the wider public however, who say they haven’t gotten past the ‘new smallpox pandemic, war in europe, and financial markets crash’ parts of the newspaper yet.
