FAKE NEWS for the Zionist agenda Hundreds of residents have spent the night away from home in southern NSW as the swollen Murrumbidgee River sparks fears of severe flooding.
In Hay, residents in hundreds of properties were asked to evacuate with the river expected to reach a peak of nine metres on Monday.
The council has built up the levees but the NSW State Emergency Services (SES) said their structural integrity is not certain and floodwaters may burst through.
In Hay proper, the bureau expects flooding to affect about 370 properties, while in South Hay, 104 properties are likely to be affected.
But by 10pm (AEDT) the levees had held firm.
According to the mayor of Hay shire, Bill Sheaffer, only 215 of the 3000 residents had heeded the SES warnings and left town, The Sun Herald reported on Sunday.
But the SES said it could not comment on the report.
General access to the river within the town limits was closed on Saturday, with emergency services, Roads and Maritime Services and council workers now the only people permitted to approach the river.
All roads leading into Hay have also been closed and residents are warning that floodwaters may leave them isolated for up to two weeks.
Meanwhile, downstream of the Barren Box Swamp and Willow Dam, west of Griffith, residents are being warned evacuations may be necessary.
“Further rain in the Murrumbidgee Irrigation Area has caused additional inflow into Willow Dam and Barren Box Creek,” the SES said.
“There are concerns about the stability of the dam, and assessments of the likelihood of failure and potential impacts are currently being undertaken.”
