Gurley resident John Tramby said they had received up to nine inches of rain in some areas in just 48 hours.

“Most of the residents out here are isolated,” Mr Tramby said.

“We haven’t had anyone evacuated as of yet, but this rain doesn’t look like it’s going to stop,” he said.

“We could be potentially facing one of the biggest floods in this shire,” he said.

Terry Hie Hie was no different according to local Eddie Corey.

“We had about five inches of rain fall in no time,” he said.

“The Corey Bridge peaked at eight metres on Tuesday night,” he said.

According to Mr Corey three houses were inundated with water.

The Albert Street and Edward Street bridges were shut yesterday afternoon.

As we went to print yesterday afternoon the SES predicted Yarraman to reach 7.1m by noon today and the Mehi River is predicted to reach moderate flood level at 7.6 metres.

Cr Humphries believes the worst is yet to come.

“We don’t know how much more rain is going to fall and we really don’t know how much water is going to come at this stage,” Cr Humphries said.

“All we can do is prepare. I urge you to all to look after each other and stay safe.”

SES media spokesperson Heidi Groom said the SES in conjunction with the Rural Fire Service, council and the police were doing everything they could to ensure the safety of residents in the shire.

“We have 40 SES volunteers from around the region in addition to the SES volunteers already based here in Moree,” Ms Groom said.

“We have two helicopters and thousands of sandbags for people to collect from various safe zones.”

According to Ms Groom continued rain could cause some serious problems.

“All the rivers, creeks and streams in the area were already close to full. They were half empty in November and we saw what happened when it kept raining,” she said.
