101 mm has fallen over the past three days in Nambucca Heads, according to the Bureau of Meteorology.
But inland regions of the Valley have recorded totals up to 300mm across the wet weekend.
There are reports on social media that the prolonged downpour on Saturday evening filled tanks to the brim at Missabotti, with residents recording over 100mm in a 24 hour period.
Residents in Macksville and Congarinni North have also said well over 100mm fell in those areas between Saturday and Sunday mornings.
One resident on the now infamous Kian Rd in Upper Buckrabendinni recorded 70 mm in the same period.
While thunderstorms are predicted to hammer the south coast today, there's more rain likely for us too, with the chance of those thunderstorms reaching us before they peter out.
But the fantastic news is that the Section 44 'State Of Emergency' declaration has now officially been lifted from our local fire zone, after more than two months.
