Tasmanians have been told to expect further flooding and high winds as a second cold front approaches the state.By Daniel Miller
We've been hearing on the radio from some very cold people wrapped in multiple blankets trying to keep warm with the power out . I hope you're faring a bit better!While used to wild weather, father and son Anthony and Andrew Johnston, from Tasmania's far north-west coast, can't recall anything like this event.
He said he hadn't visited the beef farm he works at, but was expecting to clean up fallen trees in coming days."It's still upright, no damage, it sort of squeaks and creeks a little bit, but it's still there," he said."I'm keen on a hot shower, so hopefully by tonight I can have a hot shower again," he said.
As a Huon Valley resident myself, it's been a bit hairy with trees down and no power over Father's Day. Thankfully, the office has power so I can be with you! 'You can't play with people's lives': Four months after the Deloraine floods, Clinton is still waiting on his insurance, the mayor of Meander Valley Council, spoke to ABC Radio earlier about what's going on in his council area, which is under several alert warnings."The floodwaters are not as bad as they were on Friday and into Saturday at the moment," he said.
