Most ‘torrential’ downpour since ‘90s

The BOM has issued minor flood warnings for the Bellinger River, Hastings River, Georges River, Tuggerah Lake, Paroo River, Weir River and the Cooks River.

An initial minor flood warning is in place for the Tweed River, Wallis Lake and the Camden Haven River. Flooding in these regions is particularly dangerous due to the “Bathtub Effect” caused by choke points where the rivers narrow, waters back up and begin spilling over the riverbanks. NSW Police assistant commissioner Karen Webb repeated warnings that people shouldn’t drive through floodwaters.She also advised against anyone taking a boat out in the current conditions, which are already not suitable and expected to get worse.
