"This is our third flood stoppage on the Hume Highway since 2:00pm (AEDT) this afternoon." from the same link, this guy is stuck on a fucking bridge!!! I hope he gets off before the dam goes. |
jacqflash (OP) User ID: 1130607 Australia 10/15/2010 05:18 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Quoting: Anonymous Coward 1092924 YEP Residents near Tumbarumba in southern New South Wales have been told to evacuate immediately as a nearby dam wall is crumbling. Tumbarumba Shire Council has issued an urgent alert to residents on the Mannus and Tooma creeks, downstream from the Mannus Lake, to evacuate. It is feared the Mannus Dam could burst as the wall of the dams is eroding. The council says residents have only an hour or less. Evacuation centres have been set up in Tumbarumba, Ardenside and Toooma Station. Meanwhile, about 30 homes in Holbrook have been evacuated due to rising floodwaters following heavy rain. The State Emergency Service (SES) is warning residents around the towns of Morven, Culcairn, Walbundrie and Rand to prepare for flooding. In Lockhart, east of Wagga Wagga, 50 homes have been flooded and an evacuation centre has been set up. People on low-lying properties along the Tumut River have also been advised to prepare for flooding and a caravan park at Tumut is being evacuated. Adelong Creek remains high, with the business district of Adelong still under water. |

jacqflash (OP) User ID: 1130607 Australia 10/15/2010 05:25 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | It seems this is just another maintainence issue like in Hungary. Quoting: Anonymous Coward 1130341The dam has eroded from the inside out and they didnt know?? It probably hasn't been this full for quite a while true that. You would think those maintaining the dam would consider that but maybe not. |

You would think those maintaining the dam would consider that but maybe not. Well actually thanks to the green agenda and the fake climate change global warming scare. The Engineers were probably told and believed it would be empty by 2015 |
