ADVICE TO THE PUBLIC:

Due to very dangerous thunderstorms with locally intense rainfall flooding is currently occurring. The gauge at Anzac oval is currently 3.3m and increasing, upriver Wigley Gorge is 4.5m and appears to be levelling off, this water will move down stream through Alice Springs.

Many roads will be cut off potentially including Stotts Terrace bridge and all low-level causeways causing isolation for the residents.
