LAST night's torrential downpour in the Manning resulted in mostly nuisance damage, with local SES crews kept busy attending reports of roof leakages and water flowing into garages.
Some flash flooding occurred, especially in the Upper Lansdowne area where the volume of water simply had nowhere to go for a short time but this was unrelated to last week's river flood, said SES deputy regional controller Steve Hart.
Taree SES had to help a home owner evacuate 20 greyhounds, whose kennels were inundated; and in another incident a small landslip led to a carport collapsing, but no one was injured.
Mr Hart said Taree, Wingham and Harrington SES crews were out all night attending to the calls.
The Bureau of Meteorology reports 102mm fell in Taree in the past 24 hours. At midday today the Manning River level was 1.2m - below flood level, though it was listed as rising. River levels at Wingham and Lansdowne were steady or falling.
