@Kiwiwomble And yet across the pond it was so bad that friends on a skiing trip in NW USA couldn't go outside. Resorts closed to prevent people dying.
the reason it was showing up on my feeds was we've just got back from 2 weeks in canada, its mad, on mountain we never really got above -3 to -5°, only 2 sunny days, the rest snowing on and off continuously

apparently the Brynderwyns are closed due to the rain today, saw a clip from a colleagues daughter of the little waterfall on the southern side, it no longer a little waterfall.
Man I cant wait for summer to arrive!
is a clip in this

@taniwharugby I was just rung to say there are cars floating in Wairau Road here on the Shore. People don't understand how quickly floods develop if storm drains are blocked - I've learned by harsh experience.
Rain easing now though. I might try and head home soon.

My sister sent me some similar pics the other day - the damn on our land overflowed and flooded the road. The regional council guy who locks the gate to the beach stopped to have a look and the flooding engulfed his car.
I was worried we'd be on the hook for the damage to the car but apparently we're all good.
Shit, Auckland is getting a hammering:

They've declared a state of emergency now. Been absolutely tipping down all day, then got even heavier this evening. Feel for those whose houses etc are getting flooded, not fun at all.

Apparently 3 people have died, 1 other reported missing.
This is gonna be a big one for insurers, don't expect this will be good for trying to keep inflation down.

Heavy rain warning for tomorrow as well, I really hope that doesn't eventuate

Same!!! Yearling sales kick off tomorrow

@booboo just a long stream of shitty weather tracking down from the tropics.
There had been a system by Vanuatu they had said was primed to become a cyclone, but didn't.
The updated forecast for the next 24 isn't quite as bad as it was last night, so hope it is losing power and will just pass off into the vast pacific.
Sadly this is what tomorrow morning looks like

@taniwharugby shit!! It is crazy how fast the weather systems spin up and how little notice we are getting before they hit. Hope you guys in the north are staying as safe as possible.
