The Bureau of Meteorology has issued a severe thunderstorm warning, which is likely to produce large hailstones, heavy rainfall that may lead to flash flooding and damaging winds in the warning area over the next several hours.
Locations that may be affected include Canberra, Cooma, Braidwood, Mount Ginini, Adaminaby, Araluen and Captains Flat.
The ACT State Emergency Service advises the community to:
- Move your car under cover and away from trees
- Secure or put away loose items
- Keep at least eight metres away from fallen power lines
- Stay indoors away from windows
- Never drive, walk or ride through floodwater
If you need support during storms and floods call the ACT State Emergency Service on 132500.
