Residents in Jensen, Deeragun and Burdell are being warned they may experience flash flooding with the Bohle River, Saunders and Stoney Creeks predicted to rapidly rise.
There has been heavy rainfall over a short period in the area causing River and Creek levels to rise and potential flash flooding and fast-moving water. Residents in the area should move to higher ground if they are concerned about flooding at their home.
