In the space of a few short hours on Sunday, Turkey Creek rose beyond measure after 130mm of rain in 24 hours, and inundated the community of Warmun. The school, many houses and the store have suffered serious water damage. But possibly the most heart-breaking event for many residents is the irreparable damage to the community's thriving Art Centre.
