Around 34,000 homes could be inundated or isolated in Victoria state as a flood emergency continues across parts of Australia’s southeast
Tim Wiebusch, chief operating officer at Victoria State Emergency Service, estimated 85 percent of Rochester had been flooded by the overflowing Campaspe River at the weekend.
“It’s quite likely we’ll see a flood peak happen and waters recede, followed by another peak, as different river systems come together,” Watt told Australian Broadcasting Corp. The northern Victorian town of Kerang is likely to be isolated for up to seven days when the Loddon River peaks on Wednesday or Thursday, Wiebusch said.
October is usually the start of the wildfire season in the three states that are enduring record and near-record flooding.
