The Myall Coast had over 195mm between April 19 and 25.

The 24 hours to 9am on April 25 were the heaviest during the time period with 110mm recorded in Bulahdelah.

Warnings for flash flooding of the Myall River at Bulahdelah became a reality with Stroud St and Jackson St disappearing under the water.

Bulahdelah resident Jack Weerman was not lucky enough to avoid the rising flood waters.

He had to have his car towed by the NRMA when he hit flood waters during heavy rain in Jackson St after the Anzac dawn service on Friday.

“There were no barriers in Jackson St when I hit the water,” Mr Weerman said.

Motorists also fell victim to the wet weather with police and tow trucks assisting around 20 people near Nerong.

The motorists had had their tyres blow and rims damaged after they hit pot-holes along the road.

RTA signs were used to advise travellers to slow down on the road around Viny Creek until repair work could be undertaken.

This month’s rainfall on the Myall Coast has doubled the long term average of 124.5mm; reaching 269.8mm during the 19 days of rain.

Weatherzone meteorologist Matt Pearce said while the weather was severe it wasn’t unusual for this time of year.

The autumn months are always the wettest on the Myall Coast with warm water, strong winds and consistent cloudy weather bringing the rain.

The weather patterns are expected to change in July.
