so the council spent millions on 'flood protection' and we're still getting people stuck in their houses. what a waste of money

Noah Bennett2026-07-05T23:25:31.000Z

nah mate they don't care until it's their own house underwater

poor lady, trying to help her nephew and now she's stuck. hope she's got supplies and someone checks on her

Phoenix Reid2026-07-05T23:51:31.000Z

agreed. shame on the council. prayers for the family

ffs Oamaru again. third time this year the town's turned into a lake. maybe time to move somewhere not in a floodplain?

how long until the water goes down? asking for a mate who's also near the river

classic. they'll slap a silt carpet and call it a day. meanwhile people's lives get ruined. sick of it

signal boosting this. anyone know if the RFS is on the way?

River Cole2026-07-06T00:49:31.000Z

oh here we go, blame the victim. not like the council approved the subdivisions

Chloe Martin2026-07-06T00:32:31.000Z

yeah nah get stuffed. we've had how many warnings and still building houses in flood zones. natural consequences

Ruby Fraser2026-07-06T00:50:31.000Z

hoping for a quick rescue. that's all that matters right now 🙏
