IT HAS FINALLY STOPPED RAINING

Thursday and the rain has finally stopped.  Settlements to the north are cut off by slips and bridges washed away and many houses have silt through them.  Unfortunately, people are missing further south, one washed away in  a car and others in landslips. 

We were fine here.  The lawn was under water but once the rain stops it dries up quite quickly.

We decided to walk to the Whangarei Falls this morning. The bottom photo was on January 6th. There was a lot more water yesterday as a picnic table to the left of the photo was almost under water.

    Rain here too, but just enough to be annoying!

    I've been reading about the catastrophes in NZ and the tragedy at the Mount. It's incredible the flooding all over Europe, here in Greece and down in NZ too!
    The waterfall is awesome

      They are still looking for people in the Mount. The waterfall is spectacular, loud and wetting.
