These were taken today at around 1:00 PM near the CBD. At the same time the radio was saying that the water just broke the levys and the CBD is starting to flood. See if i can get more pics later on today. And the river has not peaked yet, they say it will peak tonight around midnight at 7.5 meters, which will put the whole CBD underwater. The Pacific highway is closed, and by the looks of it so will Kempsey.

Brian will be wet but not flooded and the T dry, as Mel and i. XB is all safe and sound and dry, i have all day tommorow set aside to work on it to get it ready for Old Bar. At the moment the club trailor at my work is flooded (but dry)(Ultratune is in the CBD and inaccessible by car at the moment), and after a couple of phone calls soon, i would say we will be pushing the Old Bar run back a week.

Half our back and side fence has been levelled by the wind, dammit. Up at 3am the other day dismantling it before it self destructed even more, cos it was flapping around in the wind.
Note to all those silly people out there who use quick set cement for colourbond fence posts, cos it's nice and easy... it corrodes the posts and they snap off at the base!
