Why oh why do people still drive through flooded roads.
Surely they watch the news and see cars being wash away and people loosing their lives.

If anyone is still affected by floodwaters can they give us an update please? 👍

 

[bathursttiger1]

BT could you go to Floods thread and give us an update if your thereabouts 👍

We are in drought here hasn't rained for 2days.

Oh really, well turn the hose on 😻.
Is most of the flooded area recovered now?
Not in the loop up here.

There’s some pretty severe flooding here today we had an absolute downpour last night, officially had 80mm next door neighbour rain gauge overflowed 150mm plus.

Geez mate, you'd be happy if you

We are fine where we are, most of the people in Bathurst are okay, some will be stuck on the wrong side of the river.
I just feel really sorry for the people downstream from us.

Stupid phone, I've had trouble accessing this site, really slow. Anyhow.....
Good to hear your ok.
Prob a dumb question, but is that Macquarie River your talking about, if it is I can recall someone saying it has a history of flooding.
Ink was saying Suzie is cut off?

 

[innsaneink]

Suz is in Canowindra they're OK just cut off from town

Yes it is the Macquarie river, there’s a low level bridge over the river it normally gets flooded every 5 years, this year it’s been flooded about 7 times.

It sounds like your on top of things BT, excuse the pun, keep safe mate and dry.
P.S. go back a few posts mate where I said leave the hose on 🤣

I just seen on the local news that the small communities of Molong, Canowindra, and Eugowra have been basically destroyed by the flooding.
We often travel to Molong and some of those smaller towns for Sunday drives, and have a meal and help support them.
Looks like we’ll be doing some more drives when things settle down.

Wow. Lets hope people use their brains and not try to drive over flooded crossings etc. Thanks for the update mate.
