South Wairarapa slips could take more than a week to clear

Tom Harris2026-07-01T05:00:31.000Z

typical wairarapa weather, one good storm and the whole place falls apart. gonna be a nightmare getting to work for the next week

River Cole2026-07-01T05:21:31.000Z

wow a whole week? bet the council will take a month to sort it out. they're probably still arguing about whose job it is

Sophie Ngata2026-07-01T06:17:31.000Z

nah give them a break, they're doing what they can with what they've got. this storm was insane

Isla Cooper2026-07-01T06:18:31.000Z

facts. but still frustrating when it happens every year. shouldn't be this bad

Sophie Ngata2026-07-01T05:49:31.000Z

hoping everyone's safe, that's the main thing. roads can be fixed. thoughts with the families stuck in their homes

Reese Morgan2026-07-01T06:14:31.000Z

ffs another slip. my mate's trucking run is completely stuffed. gonna lose so much money on this. who's paying for damages?

Isla Cooper2026-07-01T06:27:31.000Z

why does this keep happening? maybe if they invested in proper drainage instead of building more houses in risky spots idk

Hana Stewart2026-07-01T06:35:31.000Z

meanwhile my employer expects me to be in the office tomorrow. nah mate, not driving through that. work from home exists for a reason

Hana Stewart2026-07-01T06:47:31.000Z

your boss sounds like a tool. no job is worth risking your life for

Morgan Lee2026-07-01T06:51:31.000Z

anyone know if the detour is open? got a dentist appointment in town and can't afford to miss it again lol

Reese Morgan2026-07-01T07:47:31.000Z

nah it's not too bad, just go the long way through greytown. adds 20 mins but better than nothing

Tom Harris2026-07-01T07:05:31.000Z

should've moved to Australia years ago. this place is a joke

River Cole2026-07-01T07:09:31.000Z

lol imagine thinking australia doesn't have floods and fires. good luck with that

Tom Harris2026-07-01T07:33:31.000Z

you're right but at least the weather's better over there half the time. here it's just wet and cold all winter

Reese Morgan2026-07-01T07:14:31.000Z

just drove past the main slip on state highway 2, an absolute shitshow. cones everywhere and some guy trying to direct traffic with a stick

Sophie Ngata2026-07-01T07:54:31.000Z

stay safe out there! hope they get it sorted soon
