Thanks for the update! The Taranaki, Wanaganui, Horowhenua and Manawatu situation has been progessively getting worse all day. A lot of disruption for you people up there. The Wellington region has been sheltered from the worst of this one - have had a few people ringing me today thinking that we were in it too. But we had only 41 mm here at Tawa on Friday and today was relatively dry.GreggWard wrote:107mm to 8pm and still raining. Although, looking at the radar and satellite images, the rain looks like it should decrease in the next couple of hours.
But things sound pretty bad for some regions just north of here. I understand the spillway near Waitarere was opened this afternoon to release some of the river flows. When I had a place up there we knew things were serious when the spillway was opened!
