Update, 12.50pm: Tuesday night s wild weather won t be the last of it for this week, according to the Bureau of Meteorology. BOM says we can expect thunderstorms every day for at least the next four days. Storms are forecast to hit the Northern Rivers on Wednesday, with more on the horizon for Thursday, Friday and Saturday. A broad area of low pressure extends over the north of the state, with a surface trough expected to develop during the day in the west, the BOM website states. This pattern is drawing humid air down from the tropics, which is generating unsettled conditions in many districts.
We were called off just before we were on scene, the rescue squad posted on Facebook. We had also been given information about a tree down on Fogwells Rd nearby so we proceeded to that location but were not able to locate a tree on the roadway. It is very important to remember that even though you might know a road and travel it daily, you should never drive, ride or walk through floodwaters. The team was again called at 8.20pm after reports of animals trapped in floodwaters and a collapsed shed at Spring Grove. The animals were not hurt but the owner was concerned about them not having enough feed.
