1
00:00:00,400 --> 00:00:03,440
Speaker 1: Jum mission with Jonesy and Amanda.

2
00:00:03,240 --> 00:00:06,440
Speaker 2: Natalie Barr from Sunrise is at Windsor Bridge in Sydney. Nat.

3
00:00:06,480 --> 00:00:08,200
Speaker 2: I'm looking at your Instagram. Here it says a year

4
00:00:08,240 --> 00:00:10,080
Speaker 2: I was to the day after I stood here reporting

5
00:00:10,080 --> 00:00:12,080
Speaker 2: on a one in one hundred year flood. The flood

6
00:00:12,160 --> 00:00:15,360
Speaker 2: is back and it's worse. What are you seeing this morning, NT?

7
00:00:16,040 --> 00:00:18,480
Speaker 1: Yeah, look, we're standing at the Windsor Bridge, which you know,

8
00:00:18,520 --> 00:00:21,000
Speaker 1: it's pretty iconic. A lot of people would know this.

9
00:00:21,720 --> 00:00:25,919
Speaker 1: They built a new one and it opened in May

10
00:00:26,000 --> 00:00:29,160
Speaker 1: twenty and then a year later, literally a year ago,

11
00:00:29,960 --> 00:00:32,239
Speaker 1: the water ran over and it was flooded. It was

12
00:00:32,240 --> 00:00:35,840
Speaker 1: supposed to be supposedly floodproof, and the water spilled over

13
00:00:35,880 --> 00:00:38,480
Speaker 1: it last year and we all stood here and said, wow,

14
00:00:38,560 --> 00:00:42,920
Speaker 1: look at that. At that stage, the Hawkesbury River peaked

15
00:00:42,920 --> 00:00:45,800
Speaker 1: at twelve point nine meters and everyone thought, oh my godness,

16
00:00:45,800 --> 00:00:50,760
Speaker 1: this is amazing. Now it's expected to peak at fourteen meters.

17
00:00:50,880 --> 00:00:53,160
Speaker 1: So this is really serious out here.

18
00:00:53,320 --> 00:00:55,520
Speaker 2: What does that mean for the integrity of the bridge?

19
00:00:55,600 --> 00:00:58,920
Speaker 1: Nat? It sounds like the bridge will be fine. It's

20
00:00:58,960 --> 00:01:01,480
Speaker 1: a very very solid bridge. You know. The first bridge

21
00:01:01,560 --> 00:01:03,760
Speaker 1: was built many years ago, in eighteen seventy four as

22
00:01:03,800 --> 00:01:05,640
Speaker 1: a rickety old one, and that's why they had to

23
00:01:05,720 --> 00:01:09,360
Speaker 1: redo it. I don't think anyone's worried about that, but

24
00:01:10,319 --> 00:01:12,520
Speaker 1: they're worried about the water around it and all the

25
00:01:12,560 --> 00:01:16,920
Speaker 1: communities along here. Hundreds of thousands of people are going

26
00:01:16,959 --> 00:01:19,880
Speaker 1: to be impacted by this. There's no way they can

27
00:01:19,920 --> 00:01:23,760
Speaker 1: even put out enough alert So authorities are saying, if

28
00:01:23,800 --> 00:01:26,760
Speaker 1: you were flooded this time last year, which was many,

29
00:01:26,880 --> 00:01:29,640
Speaker 1: many thousands of people, get out of your house. If

30
00:01:29,680 --> 00:01:32,840
Speaker 1: you even think that you've got a slight possibility of

31
00:01:32,959 --> 00:01:35,640
Speaker 1: being flooded, get out of your house. Even if you're

32
00:01:35,640 --> 00:01:39,280
Speaker 1: not on an alert list, you could still be impacted

33
00:01:39,280 --> 00:01:42,959
Speaker 1: because home homes around you, streets around you could be

34
00:01:42,959 --> 00:01:46,360
Speaker 1: flooded and then you could be cut off and that

35
00:01:46,800 --> 00:01:51,160
Speaker 1: is going to impact resources seas trying to get you supplies, etc.

36
00:01:51,720 --> 00:01:54,480
Speaker 1: So they're really calling on the public to try and

37
00:01:54,560 --> 00:01:56,280
Speaker 1: do the right thing here and.

38
00:01:56,400 --> 00:01:58,480
Speaker 2: When you're told to evacuate. I know we've been giving

39
00:01:58,480 --> 00:02:02,120
Speaker 2: the information this morning sees NSW, dot gov, dot AU

40
00:02:02,240 --> 00:02:04,960
Speaker 2: for informations to where you evacuate too. Do we have

41
00:02:05,080 --> 00:02:07,960
Speaker 2: enough evacuation sites for these thousands and thousands of people?

42
00:02:08,600 --> 00:02:12,600
Speaker 1: Well? Probably not because they're just starting to organize that.

43
00:02:12,880 --> 00:02:14,800
Speaker 1: I think it's a matter of if you a matter

44
00:02:14,880 --> 00:02:17,560
Speaker 1: of if you've got someone else, if you've got a friend,

45
00:02:17,880 --> 00:02:21,840
Speaker 1: a family member, get out now. It's a matter of

46
00:02:21,880 --> 00:02:24,880
Speaker 1: getting out of this area, getting your car off the road,

47
00:02:25,919 --> 00:02:30,880
Speaker 1: because the roads are being impacted really quickly. Roads that

48
00:02:31,600 --> 00:02:33,280
Speaker 1: I've just been up in Brisbane for a few days

49
00:02:33,280 --> 00:02:35,480
Speaker 1: and the same thing happened up. They're roads that were

50
00:02:35,520 --> 00:02:38,359
Speaker 1: fine an hour or a few hours ago. I'm not

51
00:02:38,400 --> 00:02:42,359
Speaker 1: necessarily going to be fine when you choose to get

52
00:02:42,400 --> 00:02:44,400
Speaker 1: out of here. So they're really asking people to look

53
00:02:44,440 --> 00:02:48,120
Speaker 1: at the updates. The SS website has been having problems,

54
00:02:48,280 --> 00:02:51,280
Speaker 1: so they're putting out alerts on Facebook and on Twitter.

55
00:02:51,480 --> 00:02:55,720
Speaker 1: But basically, don't wait around for an alert or knock

56
00:02:55,760 --> 00:02:58,560
Speaker 1: on the door or an evacuation or to try and

57
00:02:58,600 --> 00:02:59,200
Speaker 1: do it yourself.

58
00:02:59,600 --> 00:03:02,520
Speaker 2: These unprecedented times that we live in, don't we just

59
00:03:02,560 --> 00:03:04,440
