From news.com.au
AN urgent alert to evacuate has been issued by the New South Wales State Emergency Service to all people living in North Wagga Wagga and surrounding areas. Those who don't evacuate are risking death, it says. The SES urges people not to delay, because they could become trapped and need to be rescued as roads close or become congested. Wherever possible, stay with family or friends, it said. If not, make other arrangements or attend one of the following three evacuation centres: North Wagga Public School, Hampden Ave, North Wagga Wagga (until 10pm); Senior Citizens Centre, Tarcutta St, Wagga Wagga; Wagga Wagga police station, Tarcutta St. Read more: http://www.news.com.au/breaking-news...#ixzz1o8SMv7G7 Stay safe B2TF and other members in that area Also realized this is in the wrong area.

This will be hitting us here in a week or so. It will be interesting if it is going to be worse than 2010.

Thats crazy amounts of wzter being released. For years i watched prime news watching the dam capacity at 50-60% thinking "that will never be full again", now its been over 100% twice in 18 months.

This is about 45km west of Narrandera or 25km east of Darlington Point. I would say the Sturt highway would be close to being cut at the Tubbo Station homestead if it is higher this time. In 2010 it just went over the highway there. Anyone want to buy a house? Check my sig. It might have waterfront views in a week or so. ![]() |

Just got an evacuation order for Wagga CBD sent to my mobile as I used to live in central Wagga.
I think you will find the CBD levee is 11m. The predicted peak now is 10.9m Check out the times in these 2 links. http://www.dailyadvertiser.com.au/ne...g/2477885.aspx Quote:

Not looking good. Wagga CBD has been evacuated (2nd time for some because they were all sent there from north wagga) and there are reports that North Wagga has started to flood. Will have to wait and see in the morning but 10.9m is the expected peak and the main levee around the CBD is 11m. CBD not expected to flood but evacuated as a precaution.

Hope everyone up there pulls through these floods ok, I heard the Murray was flooding upstream at Walwa but I doubt it will be felt very much down in Albury as we are below the Hume weir that will absorb most of the flood surge as it isn't all that full at the moment. Nevertheless stay safe guys hope it all ends soon.

Premier has just announced natural disaster zone for Wagga and is putting together the State Disaster Council to determine further action. Levee should hold around Wagga CBD but North Wagga is under, have seen photos this morning.
