Well, we were forecast 60 – 80 ml, but we are over 130ml with no sign of it stopping.
The new causeways have been absolutely AWESOME – the creek goes up, they flow over for a bit, the creek goes back down (and here’s the cool part) the bridges are passable again while the rain stays low! Huuuuuge improvement!
Here’s the pics from 5:30pm:
2nd bridge
The low bridge has clearly been under, judging by the debris on it, and was going under again soon when this was taken – judging by the increasing rain since then, its under now
upstream side – going under soon, but note how the upstream isn’t significantly higher then the low stream!
4th Bridge
4th bridge coping nicely with the flow!
At 6PM, the river height graph suddenly spiked, finally telling us what we all already knew – the bridges were going under…
