Rain

14th consecutive day with rain

· by Michael Bath

Hi Jimmy,

The rain continues here, it is now the 14th day in a row with rain. Though of course totals are much lighter now. The flooding continues to subside along the lower Richmond River but some areas will be cut off until next week. I’ve had the amazing opportunity to fly in helicopter rescue missions with the NSW State Emergency Service the past two days. They invited me to take flood pictures on their behalf, and of the SES volunteers in action. It has been eye-opener what takes place operationally during major weather disasters like this – and to see the floods from the air has been amazing.  Will post pictures soon.
