Castlemaine SES crews attended three minor flooding incidents on Wednesday morning and a further call out on Wednesday night as heavy rain swept across the region.
Castlemaine SES member Bob Pratt said they recorded 40mm of rain in the 24 hours from 9am Wednesday to 9am Thursday.
“We also had call outs about two trees over roads Wednesday evening and a further tree down Thursday morning.
“Fortunately the storm has not resulted in too much damage and we don’t expect too much more rain,” he said.
The volunteer said the majority of flood damage was the result of blocked drains backing up and water coming into houses.
“It’s a timely reminder to make sure you check your drains and gutters ahead of any forecast rain and ensure they are cleared and ready to cope,” he said.
