Junee SES team leader Jeff Guymer was deployed to small seaside village Wooli - 50 kilometres south-east of Grafton - along with Andrew Muir and Kira Brownfield last week, before returning on Sunday.

The hardworking trio was tasked with helping the region fight extreme storms and deal with the resulting damage.

Severe thunderstorms, damaging winds, large hailstones and heavy rainfall battered northern NSW throughout their six day stint. 

Mr Guymer said the extreme conditions, which saw as much as 200 millilitres of rain fall within the space of hours, were some of the worst he’d seen.

“The amount of water was staggering, the rain was just continuous,” he said.

“One day we didn’t stop until about 2am and the rain carried on until 8am.”

The hard working team’s tasks included sandbagging, roof work and moving fallen trees from roads.

Mr Guymer said the experience showed the importance of assisting small towns in times of need.

“Wooli is a fairly remote spot with a lot of elderly people, so they do rely on the SES,” he said.

“We’re a small community helping another small community.”

Those interesting in joining the SES should attend a Wednesday night training session at 50 Bolton Street.
