WALT about the damage that the rain has done over the past few days in Canterbury.
We have big puddles and a lot of blocked gutters and drains in Christchurch over the past couple of days.
We have had to try and stay away from the surface flooding. This has been caused by some of the drains being blocked with the leaves and the water cant drain away.
The flood has been caused sewage and other pollution to overflow and now a lot of the water is contaminated. If you come in contact with this polluted water you must shower yourself and wash your clothes.
Some schools have been damaged and dad to work in the hall. Some of the power cells have been flooding and damaged. There have been evacuation from some houses.
The rivers have broken their banks and there has also been strong gusts of wind.

ReplyDeleteI would like to know where this bridge is.Is it located in the South Island?.
I hope no one was driving across it when it collapsed.
Did you get much flooding at your house?.We got a few puddles around our house but we didn't need to wear gumboots to get through them.
