15.01.2022 NSW SES Warn of Stormy Weather Ahead! The NSW SES is encouraging all Northern Rivers and Mid North Coast residents to get ready for the possibility of heavy rai...nfall and severe storms continuing today and extending through the weekend. The Bureau of Meteorology are predicting storms with the likelihood of heavy bursts of rain and hail possible. This pattern is likely to continue tomorrow and into the weekend with the biggest risk being flash flooding. A Minor Flood Bulletin is current for the Bellinger River at Thora. Other riverine rises are not forecast but cannot be ruled out, especially with the wet catchments in our area. With the possibility of stormy wet weather on the way, NSW SES Operations Commander Christina Hovey urges residents to prepare their homes. While the sun is out, bring in or secure any outdoor items in the yard or on the balcony, check your gutters are clear and your roof is in good condition, trim any overhanging branches and put together a home emergency kit in case of power outages. Ms Hovey said, These stormy conditions are typical in a La Nina event and will be the norm over the next several days. Please check your Insurance is up to date and information handy in case you need to make a claim. NSW SES urges residents and visitors to take care when driving in wet weather on the local roads and especially if you are driving in areas where low lying causeways overflow and are dangerous to cross when flooded. The Northern Rivers and Mid North Coast SES Units are currently on standby and prepared for any calls for assistance. NSW SES and Bureau of Meteorology are continuing to monitor the weather system closely. Stay alert this week, listen to any updates and advice and monitor the Bureau of Meteorology website on www.bom.gov.au.
