    @@Vixsniper I get the feeling they the powers are trying to use events like these which are not unusual to our country. I was allow those that don't live the knowledge this event isn't covering the country it's self. No trust or faith in kiwis or people sense danger on the horizon.

    Sorry for everyone going through this, I’ve been through it myself. It led to changes in the city’s infrastructure, but also the sense of community, resilience, and pride that comes from helping each other and being there for your neighbors. ‘Tough mudders’ is what you become, and you will rise above and reclaim your homes again.

    That's not breaching its banks, that's saying that the banks were a suggestion and the river said, "I don't think so."

    Most of the city isnt effected at all. The area which had the flood wash away the road is a newer area which should have never been developed on being soft clay. The houses that were flooded have always been known to flood, they use to flood alot in the eighties and has been higher up onto the road at Collingwood Street bridge. Anyone who was around in the 60's through to 80's will confirm this. Just talk to an older on looker on bridge Street bridge and you'll find out it's often happen
