#flood warnings

[welldigger62]

The rain slowed down enough so I could run out to the mailbox. The water is starting to accumulate.

The fields are looking like this now, and many puddles in my yard. It is still quite cold outside.

This is the view out by the road when I got the mail. I think the culvert in that access path to the field must be blocked. There is no water on the other side of it but the ditch is full when I turned and looked the other way.

Enough already. 😠

Seems it never rains in Southern California

Torrential downpours, window-rattling wind, tornado-warning and flood-warning alerts dinging on our phones non-stop … and that was just in our first 24 hours in L.A.

They’re calling it an “atmospheric river,” described on the Internet as “a narrow, powerful stream in the atmosphere, like a ‘river in the sky,’ transporting vast amounts of water vapor from the tropics towards the poles, acting as Earth's largest freshwater conveyor belt.”

Yep; that sounds about right.

But the kids promise that when the rain stops, it will have scrubbed L.A. of its smog and the air will be unusually fresh and clean.

SoCal’s famous sunshine is expected to return Saturday, but Sharon and I aren't in L.A. for the weather anyway and we’re immensely glad to be here.

For any Victorians following me who are impacted by the floods, remember, never enter flood waters, you don't know how deep it is or what's in it. It only takes 15cm to float a car.

When it comes to sandbagging;

Bag it; have sandbags ready to and in place to protect water from entering your property

Block it; block all entries into the house, this includes drain, toilets, and doorways

Lift it; lift all valuables as high a possible

If you are in danger call 000, if you have a flood related non-emergency (say water entering house, but you're not trapped or at immediate risk) call the SES on 132 500.

The following information is what is presented on the Vic Emergency website

If anyone is wondering about friends or family

The following areas are advised to Evacuate Immediately

Charlton

Rochester

Low lying areas of Benalla township

Murchison

Maribyrnong River

Skinners Flat, Wedderburn (There is a Dam Failure, it is predicted that after 4:30pm AEDT it will likely be too late to leave)

The following areas are advised to move to higher ground

Broken River to Benalla

Mt Emu Creek to Skipton

Laanecoorie to Loddon Weir

Campaspe River Lake Eppalock to Barnadown

Goulburn River Lake Eildon to Seymour

The following areas are alerted as too late to leave

Seymour: If you are located in the area bounded by the Goulburn River to Redbank Rd; along the Goulburn Valley Hwy to Whiteheads Creek up to the railway line and along the bridge crossing the river to the south. The next update is expected by 14/10/2022 05:00 pm or as the situation changes. 

Low lying areas between Benalla and Baddaginnie: This evacuation warning is likely to remain in place until 5pm, 14 October

There are multiple other areas that are Watch and Act: Avoid Flooded Areas, but there are too many to list.

EMERGENCY RELIEF CENTRES

This information is accurate as of 3:05pm 14/10/2022

I will periodically update this as situations change, be safe, don't enter flood waters.

It's been raining for a day and a half, and supposed to rain for at least another 24 hours. Yvaine wants to cuddle and sleep. (she would, however, be offended if I go Feed the Big Doggies without her)

Tristan wants to catch raindrops and sploosh in puddles. He doesn't want to come inside at all.
