Looks like I best get the boat out.

Issued at 9:10 AM on Tuesday the 17th of February 2009

Flood Warning Number: 1

Up to 185 millimetres of rain has fallen during the past 12 hours to 9 am
[17/02/09]. However, the rain intensity has increased during the past 3 hours,
with up 75 millimetres falling during this period.

Further heavy rain is forecast for the next 24 hours.

This rain is expected to cause major flooding at Wauchope this evening.

At this stage it is not possible to predict the flood peak because of
uncertainty over how much more rain will fall.

Predicted River Heights/Flows:

Kindee Bridge – Reach major flood level (7.6 metres) around 1pm
– further rises possible
Wauchope – Exceed moderate flood level (4.3 metres) around 1pm
– Reach major flood level (5.5 metres) around 6pm with further
heavy rain expected this morning

You might get lucky and the XR will float out of your shed and down the river. You could put the insurance money towards buying a good bike :laugh: Seriously though, lets hope the XR floats away:laugh: :laugh:

Double serious now – Will your place get effected by the high water level Mick?

MAJOR FLOOD WARNING BELLINGER RIVER Issued at 10:20 AM on Tuesday the 17th of February 2009

Up to 375 millimetres of rain has fallen over the past 48 hours to 9 am this

The Bellingen River at Thora has now exceeded the major flood level. Major

Further rainfall is possible over the next 6 hours which could produce some
further river rises. The situation is being closely monitored and revised
predictions issued if necessary

Predicted River Heights/Flows:

Note: these are not peak predictions – further heavy rainfall this morning may
cause higher flood levels to occur.

Thora – Reach 7.5 metres with major flooding around noon (17/02/09).

Bellingen – Reach major flood level (8.2 metres) around 1pm (17/2/09)
