Friday 8th June 2007 - The Storm Hits.

Cars trapped in flash flooding @ Warners Bay Maccas Round a Bout.  Notice the white sedan in the front.  At the height of the flood waters, the only thing still visible on that car was a few centremeters of the roof.


During the height of the flood water, a small car was washed off of the road and into this storm water drain.  See the image on the left. A 38 week pregnant woman became trapped in this storm water drain.  When we found her she was clinging to the fence. The image on the right shows where we ripped the fence down to rescue her.

Tree down at Tumbi Umbi - notice the bend in the middle?


Terry decided to cut the bind of that tree with a bore cut.  We were all a bit confused as to how to get the saw out.  But doesn't Terry look proud?


It's all ok.  We got the saw free and off Terry went again.
