We were lucky here in Whangarei but along the coast north of us things were very bad with a couple of bridges washed away and lots of campers now being housed in Marae unless they have headed home from their holidays early.
The top photo was from the New Zealand Herald and the bottom from the Council website. Unfortunately, once again the heaviest rainfall is predicted in the same area.
Meanwhile here the beans and tomatoes are flourishing with beans being given to family and neighbours and it is great not having to water the garden.
I saw a video and photos of that village hall swamped by a slip and flooded...and this is summer!
ReplyDeleteYes, summer. We haven't seen the video and photos you mention.
ReplyDeleteJust saw it on tonight's News. :)
DeleteFlooding seems to be happening everywhere. If it gets any worse we'll all have to live on boats.
ReplyDeleteand people don't believe in Global Warming.
DeleteGlobal wetting!
DeleteI saw in the NZ online news I read that Northland had a lot of rain and there was a washout. Glad to hear you're OK and the garden is flourishing
ReplyDeleteStill raining and lots more forecast.
