It is highly unlikely that water will hit the top end of Creek St and the SES/Emergency Services apparently are co-ordinating operations out of this site so we have been told it is next to the last building in the City that they will let go dark. I am around the city today/tomorrow so will update you all if any of the major DCs are likely to be impacted, however at this stage DC1/2/3/4 and 100 Wickham are all looking pretty good.

Northern NSW should be spared much further flooding as well I think, as the rain system that caused all this broke up into nothing last night, but, they shouldn't be complacent just in case, who knows how much is still in their catchments.
