WALT.about the rain damage that the rain has done over the past few days in canterbury

We have had big puddles and a lot of blocked gutters and drains in Christchurch over the past couple of days.

we had to stay away from the surface flooding. This has been caused by some of the drains being blocked with leaves and the water can’t drain away.

The flood has caused sewage and other pollution to overflow and now a lot of water is contaminated. If you come in contact with polluted water you must shower yourself  and wash your clothes.

Some schools have been damaged and have to work in their hall. Some power cells have been flooded and damaged. There have been evacuations from some houses.

The rivers have broken their banks and there has also been strong gusts of wind.
