Victoria floods: Thousands of homes to be inundated or cut off as some swollen rivers peak on Monday
Neha Samar and her family haven’t seen their sandbagged Shepparton home since an evacuation notice was issued on Saturday morning.
Approximately 6,000 properties were without power on Sunday and more than 9,000 people had already applied for emergency support payments. Debbie Stanton and residents of Fahey Street in north Shepparton watch the floodwaters rise on Sunday afternoon.The announcements came amid ongoing evacuations, with emergency authorities ordering residents in Charlton and Echuca to leave their homes immediately on Sunday, where up to 400 properties could be affected.
On Sunday evening, the Goulburn River was sitting at nine metres. If it reached 12.2 as predicted early Monday morning, her house would be “underwater”. The Victoria State Emergency Service said more than 7,300 homes and businesses in the Shepparton area could be affected by the rising waters, with inundation possible in about 2,500 of those. There were 146 flood rescues in 24 hours, with the majority in the Shepparton area, the SES said on Sunday.Anthony Albanese
