00:01We haven't had the predicted rainfall that was anticipated.
00:06We've only had 67 millimetres of rain here in Catherine
00:10and there was, you know, rainfalls of 150 mil expected.
00:15So everyone, you know, town is actually a little busier today
00:20than it has been over the last couple of days.
00:23But we, everyone is as prepared as they can be here.
00:28We've, all the businesses in the main street are sandbagged.
00:32Every, you know, the shelters are open.
00:34We have 287 people in the Catherine High School shelter
00:39with 67 at McFarlane in full vulnerable people.
00:42And, you know, people are as prepared as we can be.
00:46We're not quite out of the woods yet.
00:48To be facing this a fortnight after, you know, just the last flooding event,
00:54everyone is extremely tired, worn out.
00:57I feel the same as the rest of the community,
01:01but we are all doing the best we can and we are a very strong,
01:05tight-knit community and we'll be all that much stronger for it
01:08when we come out the other side.
01:10Everyone is very prepared.
01:12As I said, we are all as prepared as we can be
01:15for potentially the next flooding event.
01:18But, you know, we do the best we can with what we've got
01:22and we will be a better community for it.
