   More than 30 hours of incessant rain eased at Australia's east coast in 2009, where widespread flooding cut off thousands of people from services and resulted in four areas being declared disaster zones. More than 160 businesses were affected by floodwaters in Coffs Harbor, and authorities received reports of garbage bins, animal carcasses and drums washing up on beaches, he said. About 500 people spent in evacuation centers in Coffs Harbour and another 250 overnighted in evacuation centers in the area of Urunga, which is on the Bellinger River, Webber said. No fatalities were reported though.
