00:00 I'd like to thank the residents of the Northern Rivers and the Northeastern Zone more widely
00:04 for listening to our advice and taking appropriate action, and for particularly not driving,
00:09 riding or walking through any floodwaters with the rain that we have seen.
00:13 We are still in storm season and we may still see some thunderstorm activity overnight,
00:18 which may see some isolated heavy rainfalls within our area, which may lead to some river
00:22 rises and some further flash flooding.
00:24 I'd just like to remind people to please monitor the conditions, follow the Bureau of Meteorology
00:30 for advice, our website, the NSW SES, and social media platforms including our Facebook
00:36 page, NSW State Emergency Service.
00:38 Thank you.
