OT - Just a bit wet at Tamworth

Morning all,

Just been out for a look about (as you do when the river comes up) and can advise that Tamworth has had a fair bit of rain in the past 24 hours - 160mm + at the airport and the Peel River and all of it's tributaries are up and running well. Rescue helicopters are working overtime with lots of evac work for medical reasons, SES are working their arses off (and mourning the possible loss of 1 of their members due to a flood boat mishap in the early hours of this morning). Rivers are raging with 68000 Ml's of water going down the Peel at the present.

Rain has eased right off so the waters should subside quickly and move downstream to Gunnedah and beyond, where thankfully, they have not had the drenching rain we've experienced here.

The door mat for my back door made it's way into my front yard during the night, my garage has had it's floor washed etc etc.

Time for some breakfast.

If I can remember how to do it I'll post some pic's in my blog


Cheers
