Central coast radio for live coverage & video of floods

According to bloke from Water Board/loal council the biggest dam in the Central Coast received 12,000 million litres in the last few days. Total capacity of that dam is 190,000 million litres, which is 10 years supply for the area.

Worse thing is the idiots who have nothing better to do than nose about in their 4WDs, move flood barriers in flooded streets!!!, and drive down the street creating wakes, which in one case ran over the sandbags & entered a dry house. Owner was not pleased. I haven't heard of any arrests of such folks (yet).

Electricity is down in many areas, including sewerage plants due to zillions of fallen trees, so some areas have Portaloos in parks, & residents are told not to put any water down their pipes. One local area holding tank broke & raw sewerage flowed into the river.

I just spoke to a friend who lives in the Central Coast (on a hillside!) who had a great time watching & listening to the big storms, and only had a few twigs in his yard, and only had to let water out of his pool twice.
