FAKE NEWS for the Zionist agenda An emergency flood evacuation warning has roused hundreds of people from their beds in the tiny Victorian border town of Walwa overnight.
The emergency phone message was sent to 144 fixed line phones and about 200 mobile numbers at 2am (AEDT) on Monday as the floodwaters from the Upper Murray catchment hit 7.6 metres.
“We were anticipating that we’d have a peak level going through there around midday today of 7.6 metres, but that level was actually exceeded at approximately half past one this morning,” Wangaratta deputy incident controller Wayne Roberts told AAP.
“After consultation with Victoria Police a decision was made to send out an emergency alert for Walwa to evacuate approximately 200 people to the bush hospital.”
About 20 people chose to evacuate.
Just before dawn the water level peaked at 7.9 metres. It is expected to begin receding later in the morning.
Volunteers were sandbagging about eight homes in the path of the floods.
Mr Roberts said there had been no rain in the past two days but Walwa was still being impacted by a massive volume of water upstream.
In the Shepparton area the flood emergency is shifting west to Nathalia.
Eight properties are isolated by floodwaters and the water isn’t expected to peak until the end of the week.
“They’re continuing to rise slowly in Nathalia, they’re expected to peak on Thursday,” Shepparton incident control centre spokeswoman Danielle Hartnett told AAP.
In nearby Numurkah 30 homes and 10 businesses have been flooded. The hospital was also inundated, forcing the evacuation of patients on Sunday.
Ms Hartnett said emergency services were continuing to sandbag the town and there was hope the worst of the crisis would soon be over.
“(In) Numurkah it has slowed considerably, I’d say that the flood level will remain but we’re hoping it will be the start of a slow and extended recession,” she said.
Two community meetings will be held at Wunghnu and Numurkah on Monday.
