Townsville residents urged to reach higher ground as Ross River Dam gates open | Sky News AustraliaResidents in many Townsville suburbs are being urged to move away from the banks of the Ross River and reach higher ground after its dam spillway gates opened to full setting.\n\nThe rapid rises of the Ross River could see the gates release up to 2000 cubic metres of water per second out of the dam.\n\nThe affected suburbs include Rosslea, Hermit Park, Railway Estate, Townsville City, Oonoonba, Idalia, Cluden, West End, Rowes Bay, Garbutt, Aitkenvale, Cranbrook, Currajong, Mysterton, Pimlico, Mundingburra, Douglas, Annandale, Kirwan and Thuringowa Central and South Townsville areas.\n\nIt comes as North Queensland residents have been warned that up to 20,000 homes could be affected by flooding if the monsoonal rain continues. \n\nMore than the annual rainfall has fallen on parts of north Queensland in the past week, creating a disaster area stretching 700km along the coast from Cairns to Mackay. TCC_News crjennyhill I think that you could have updated the community with more transparency regarding to the dam release. I have family and friends in and around the Ross River that were not aware of the dam limitations. This resulted in panicked evacuations late today. crjennyhill Well, you messed up. Hopefully you're honest enough to admit it to yourself! crjennyhill When will you dopes remember that the dam has to be flood control dam? Duuuh. Your fault it flooded Toensville!
