Tidal flooding warning issued

Central Coast Council issued a warning on Thursday, May 19, of "potential tidal flooding" in Woy Woy for that evening.

The previous 24 hours had seen 75mm of rain in Woy Woy.

"High tides in Brisbane Water are likely to see shallow overland flooding in some surrounding low-lying areas," the warning stated.

It predicted water coming up stormwater drains in Woy Woy town centre, directly from Brisbane Water

"Last night's high tide in Brisbane Water peaked at 1.06m above sea level.

"Tonight's tide has the potential to be slightly higher, due to the water levels in Brisbane Water pumping up to higher levels over successive large tides.

"It is estimated that it is likely to reach 1.1m above sea level overnight, peaking at 3am on Tuesday, May 20.

"Images show mapping of the likely tidal flood extents."
