THERE were chaotic scenes in Lismore yesterday as a huge downpour of rain caused flash flooding in the CBD, cutting off roads and causing shopkeepers to scramble to save stock.
More than 155mm of rain was dumped in a few short hours with the Browns Creek pumps struggling to cope with the deluge.
Lismore City Council urged people to avoid the Lismore CBD as flash-flooding impacted several areas.
Many residents of the Northern Rivers must have thought Tuesday's sunny weather had brought an end to this five-day storm surge, but it came back and bit everyone on the arse.
