@delicatessen Yeah - it went over the top of the stopbank.
To be fair - the river was running at record levels - somewhere around 80-times its normal winter flow.
My house got built in 1860 and to the best of my knowledge the first time it's been flooded - then twice in a fortnight!
The bottom graph is the second major rain event - I think it went over the stopbank at about 350m3/sec.
Most recent rain event was starting to accelerate - another 50mms of rain would have sent it close to that level, because everything was running off.
