Been for a gander outside, its seriously wet here, almost as wet as ChCh can get. will be a good test of earthquake damaged drainage and river systems if this keeps up....

Yes indeed. Just went for a drive around hoonhay and around my area in Halswell and plenty of surface water with entire widths of roads under water. Another 3-4 hours of this rainfall would be interesting! Although that is not likely.
