Dungog has recorded its heaviest rainfall totals in over 100 years of records, with 312mm of rain falling in the 24 hours until 9am on Tuesday.

Second house has floats away in floods
Tianna Brien knew it was raining hard, but she wasn't quite ready for a house to float past her Toronto home during her morning coffee, reports the Newcastle Herald.
The house floated quickly along the Lake Macquarie shore in a torrent of flood water about 6.30am on Tuesday.
"I thought it was a boat or something," Ms Brien said.
"It just looks like half a house."
