FAKE NEWS for the Zionist agenda Residents are leaving the northern Victorian town of Nathalia after authorities warned a temporary levee may breach.
The SES issued an emergency notice telling people to leave immediately because the levee could no longer be relied upon to hold back the rising floodwaters.
About 350 people attended a community meeting on Thursday afternoon where officials strongly advised all residents of the town, about 230km north of Melbourne, to leave during daylight hours before a major flood breach occurred.
“The focus is very much on now making sure that the levee holds,” a spokeswoman at the Shepparton incident control centre said.
“We’ve had an engineer who is continuing to monitor it, but with the dampness … we can’t guarantee that something doesn’t happen.”
An emergency notice issued by the SES states: “There are several issues arising with the levees. The levee strength and ability to hold back the floodwater can no longer be guaranteed. You should calmly evacuate Nathalia immediately.”
The swollen Broken Creek is expected to peak later on Thursday between 3.25 and 3.3 metres.
Water levels were only 5cm below the predicted peak by early Thursday afternoon, the spokeswoman said.
Water had begun to seep under the levee hours earlier and started rising up from underground pipes and drains.
Despite using several pumps and a renewed effort of sandbagging, confidence in the levee to hold has dwindled throughout the day.
More than 1400 people are now impacted by the evacuation notice, which urges them to leave now due to an increased risk to lives and homes.
Nathalia home owners are being told to leave and record their details with the police.
Some residents, however, are choosing to stay.
