Authorities overnight told hundreds of residents to evacuate from the New South Wales (NSW) town of Narrabri, home to 12,000 and about 550km northwest of Sydney, as water released from a full dam nearby worsened flooding. In nearby Gunnedah, residents endured the fifth flood in 12 months, with television footage showing people evacuating homes through waist-deep flood waters carrying pets and personal belongings. A video online showed one resident paddling a kayak through inundated streets and straight into a flooded garage. "Clearly the flood risk and the threat remains across NSW today and will do so for some days to come. The rivers are very, very full and of course our dams are mostly at full capacity at present," Steph Cooke, NSW emergency services minister, said on Tuesday. "Even the smallest amount of rain falling can cause an elevated risk of flash flooding and riverine flooding." A freight train crashed overnight near Naradhan, about 600km west of Sydney, with two crew rescued uninjured after rail tracks came loose because of heavy rain, local media reported. The Bureau of Meteorology expects 50mm of rain across swathes of the southeast on Wednesday and Thursday, with 100mm (3.94 inches) or more possible on parts of the mainland and most of the island state of Tasmania. Fresh rain over waterlogged catchments means dozens of waterways in New South Wales and Victoria are at risk of flooding, with 209 flood warnings in place across the two most populous states, with the bulk of evacuations taking place in NSW. Flooding is also expected on several river systems in the adjacent states of Queensland, South Australia and Tasmania. © Thomson Reuters 2022. ©2022 GPlusMedia Inc.

Echoes of that era can be seen in the abundant eucalyptus trees, which were planted as windbreaks for the long-vanished orange groves. We, too, suffer either drought or flood. Best wishes to my Aussie friends at this time. -1( +0 / -1 ) EASTMAN OCT. 25 04:10 PM JST take care mates.stay safe. 0( +1 / -1 ) YGHOME3 OCT. 25 08:38 PM JST The greenhouse effect is non-linear, because it is amplified by two positive feedback mechanisms at least. The first mechanism is the rapid melting of the ice caps, which amplifies the greenhouse effect by curtailing the heat radiation from the Earth back to the outer space. The second positive feedback mechanism is the increased absorption of water vapor in the atmosphere as the temperature rises. The vapors act as a blanket which amplifies the heating process. (Sometimes, due to temperature fluctuations, some vapor re-condenses and fall as torrential rain.) Because of this non-linearity, the atmospheric stability is bound to break down quite soon: Sooner rather than later the temperature will escape to a hundred or two hundreds degrees Celsius. The oceans will vaporize, and a thick blanket of ultra-hot steam will embrace the entire planet. This steam blanket will perpetuate the greenhouse effect, and will render the Earth an eternal greenhouse, like our sister planet Venus. The rains will cease. No life will develop again on the planet whereon humans and animals once used to live. 0( +0 / -0 ) GBR48 OCT. 26 01:52 AM JST When somewhere keeps flooding, wouldn't it be a plan to manage the flow of excess water a bit better and build residential properties higher, like they do across South East Asia, prone as it is to monsoons. Evacuation is a lousy 'Plan A'. -1( +0 / -1 ) DESERT TORTOISE OCT. 26 05:04 AM JST > When somewhere keeps flooding, wouldn't it be a plan to manage the flow of > excess water a bit better and build residential properties higher, like they > do across South East Asia, prone as it is to monsoons. Flooding if this magnitude is a very recent problem for these regions. These neighborhoods were laid out and built many decades ago before such flooding was a problem, and not something you would reasonably expect planners decades ago to anticipate. 1( +1 / -0 ) LOGIN TO LEAVE A COMMENT FACEBOOK USERS Use your Facebook account to login or register with JapanToday.
