Storm Rages Causing Severe Floods Along Tamworth Road
A heavy storm near J. Hughes property on the Tamworth road drenched the area, washing away fences and flooding past the railway line. Rain gauges recorded extreme totals, with 9y 80 points at W. Bignall’s house and 180 points at Greer’s Forest Glen. Floodwaters reached buildings as silt piled up to a foot. The deluge swept through Yarramanbully, Greenhatches and Halls Creeks, while repairs were needed at Braemar and nearby homes. The Manilla District Hospital maternity ward appeal also launched with public donations rising, and a full list of contributions will run next week.
