Very wet indeed a lot of areas around the region under surface flooding this morning, fire service has been very busy this morning around here with flooding even closing Clarkville school that will be the creek running alongside Tram Road.
This photo came up on facebook last night of the Anatoki Salmon Farm in Takaka, if you have been there you should understand the photo abit.

It almost never rains all day like this here. The Heathcote River must be about to inundate the whole city.

Such a great place I like being able to go and catch your own Salmon and they are big fellas too.

Rain is coming down quite thick and persistant now as the wind is more a gusty SE than straight Easterly, Dale Street around near the Mill is closed due to flooding and also Ranfurly Street.
Sirens flaring again not long ago heading towards Beach Road probably the Culvert along that road always floods.
