Published 3 weeks, 5 days ago
Description

Katherine faces severe flooding, with river levels at 17.5 meters and rising, while nearby Daly River and Nauiyu experience major flooding. Supply lines reopen, with two trains reaching Darwin, and the southern Stuart Highway cleared for food deliveries. Residents in Katherine are advised to stay indoors, with power outages falling to 600 homes. Eight schools, the hospital, courts, and nearby areas remain closed. Evacuations occur in Daly River, Nauiyu, Palumpa, Nganmarriyanga, and Jilkminggan, with residents relocated to Darwin and Mataranka School. The northern Stuart Highway section reopens, and local shops stock up, urging no panic buying as supermarkets recover from empty shelves.
