Herald Sun reporter Olivia Condous has published video footage of flooding in Seymour, the latest town to come under evacuation orders.
The SES has said floodwaters in Seymour are rapidly rising, and has advised anyone in the town to relocate to a relief centre at the Seymour Sports and Aquatic Centre at Chittick Park.
The safest evacuation route is via Anzac Avenue.
“When you leave, remember to take your pets, mobile phone and medications. Floodwater is dangerous – never enter floodwater,” the SES said.

Emergency services were door-knocking homes in Rochester, but many residents had chosen to stay. An evacuation centre has been established in Echuca for those who decided to leave.
The town centre was quiet on Thursday night, although one pub was still serving customers in the early evening.
