An evacuate warning has been issued for several communities along the River Derwent, north-west of Hobart, as wild weather continues to batter Tasmania.
Tasmanians have been told to expect further flooding and high winds as a second cold front approaches the state.You can see on the BOM's river level graph that it's sitting just above the moderate flood level of 6.1 metres .
It's a bit hard to see on a small screen, but the blue line is the river level and you can see it's crossed above the moderate flooding level We haven't lost power at Sandfly so I spent the day making sure my tanks catch all of this water. Plus my son gave me a Batman Pop Figure for Father's Day so that was awesome...As someone who is on tank water as well, I've got two full and overflowing tanks now.
He's been getting by with a gas cooker and visits to the pub, like many in the community turning anywhere there's a generator. *Edit* The Education Department website previously listed Redpa and Riana primary schools as being closed on Monday. They've since corrected the list and removed those schools .I'm Daniel and I'm taking over from Esther and Elissa for the afternoon and into the evening. I'll bring you the latest updates as they come to hand.
