NSW:More flooding woes for NSW regions

Residents of Eugowra and Canowindra .. in regional New South Wales .. are facing possible
evacuations today .. following heavy rainfalls across the state.

The central west and northeast regions copped downpours of 61 millimetres over the
weekend .. prompting authorities to issue flood warnings for the two towns.

The SES expected the Mandagery Creek in Eugowra to peak around midnight (AEDT) and
likely bursts it banks .. warning residents in low-lying areas they may be asked to evacuate.

At Canowindra .. several roads and bridges were being closed .. and low-lying properties
were likely to be inundated after the Belubula River reached five-and-a-half metres around
five o'clock last night.



The SES was also on standby to help in the state's northeast .. warning of possible
flooding on the Tweed .. Richmond and Wilson river valleys.
