According to our not-so-weather-savvy journos at the NZ Herald, yesterday's flooding around Akld, 'marked the start of a weather bomb expected to intensify in many areas today'. :banghead:

At least they changed the original headline of the same ilk.

There's also a little raw-footage of street-flooding here

Good video Ben. Really shows the extent of the flooding around Devonport. Also enjoyed the in-car commentary. :smile:
