[quote]About 1200 residents in Coonamble in the central western NSW have been ordered to evacuate before nightfall as the Castlereagh River swells. The SES issued the evacuation order at 1pm (AEDT) on Sunday for everyone within the vicinity of the Coonamble levee. "Residents have been asked to leave the area or reach their destination by 8pm," SES spokesman Dave Owen told AAP. About 1200 residents would be affected by the order, he said. "The Castlereagh River at Coonamble is going to peak at 5.5 metres at 9am (AEDT) tomorrow," Mr Owens said on Sunday. "We want people to leave in daylight," he added. Mr Owens also said that things are settling in the Parkes area and that the river at Dubbo peaked at 8.30am (AEDT) on Sunday and was now receding. Parts of Wagga Wagga are being evacuated as the Murrumbidgee river and swollen creeks around it threaten the town. SES officers said an industrial area in the city's east was expected to be first under water as more than 700 residents were evacuated from homes in Gumly Gumly and areas of east and north Wagga. Twelve rivers in NSW have a current flood warning. There have been 56 flood rescues and the SES has warned that people should not try to enter, drive or ride through flood waters. In Sydney, NSW Premier Kristina Keneally said she would visit a number of flood-affected areas on Monday with Emergency Minister Steve Whan. "We will do that based on the advice of the SES but at this stage we are planning to view the operations and the response, speak to local government and others on the ground," Ms Keneally told reporters in Sydney. The government was monitoring the situation and working closely with emergency services, Ms Keneally said.[/quote] Source: [url]http://news.ninemsn.com.au/article.aspx?id=8175881[/url] This is Australia, FYI.
