Is there anything on the news anywhere about what the hell is happening here in northern Victoria?

We have copped an enormous amount of rain in the past week and currently experiencing the 1% flood, or '100 year flood' here around the Shepparton region. Our power was turned off last night, no warning, and the only information we can get is a post on the power company's website (when the internet actually works) saying it'll be back on the 23rd. We're completely cut off and getting SFA information off anyone. My town has about 4,000 people and noone I talk to has any idea of what to do or what is happening, only that the supermarkets are almost out of non-perishable food and no bastard can get in.

Just wondering if it's hit the news OS yet?

Roads everywhere around here are closed, can hear the chopper every hour or so with another load of food and generators, dropping them off at the racecourse from what I hear. Oh yeah, every town here has a racecourse.

We've got a text message to say we might get 90 minutes of power tomorrow night between 7 and 8.30pm.
 
My weather app shows a couple of flood warnings still in effect. The 2nd one had less info and showed the same info as the first so I didn't scroll down on that one.
