@@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.

Thanks for helping
Sad to see, but much worse situation in Pakistan may Allah help us all Ameen
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.
Check and record all radar images Surprise surprise
They been too many tears falling lately, I pray you all are safe , Prayers from USA❤️🤍💙
stay safe people.
God bless you all !!!
Need to start boat tours by the looks of things
That's not breaching its banks, that's saying that the banks were a suggestion and the river said, "I don't think so."
wow 😓
That's my town! It's a bit wet rn tbh.
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

Do they have pipe drains there? If they do, it was most likely possible the pipe drains were clogged

Oh my good
Sometimes the engrs get confused on how to plan for run off from all those impervious surfaces they have created. And that probably doesnt help the situation
Money....stop buying houses in flood plains and these builders and contractors will start paying attention.
