Glad things are settling for you. I was in the SES in 1993 and had a lot to do with the flood back then. It can be very daunting, but unless people do dumb stuff they are generally safe. Fires can be worse in that regard.
I think the council are going have to do some serious answering after these floods. If you think about most of the new housing developments here, they are along the river. Think south from Riverside, all the way out past the airport, then think of the new estates behind DECA and on the river towards the cemetery - they ALL had dirt bought in to raise the house blocks about previous flood levels, that sounds great, but all it has done has pushed water into areas it might not have gone to in the past. I honestly believe most of Mooroopna's flooding was caused by these new Shepparton housing developments. They have pushed the water onto the Mooroopna side
