Dozens of people sheltered in an RSL overnight as an "unbelievable" deluge flooded a small rural town in central west NSW, destroying businesses with waters rising to roof height.
Vast swathes of the central west were battered by rain and powerful storms with the force of the floodwaters smashing shop windows and knocking out the back wall of the local supermarket in Molong.
"It was just unbelievable how fast the water came," Mary Mulhall told AAP from from the Molong RSL on Monday.
