Absolutely typical. Council spent millions on a cycleway instead of fixing the drains. Now look at the mess. Hope everyone's alright down there but ffs sort it out.

Anyone else's power flickering? We're in North Dunedin and it's been going on for an hour.

hope it's all good. Power's been fine here in Mornington so far.

Drove through Milton this morning, water was over the road. Absolute chaos. Stay safe people.

My flatmate tried to drive to uni and had to turn back. The university hasn't even sent an email yet. Great communication lol

Anyone know if the airport road is open? Supposed to fly out tonight...

Jordan Bell2026-07-06T00:34:33.000Z

check Auckland Airport's Twitter? They're usually good with updates.

This is insane. Spent all morning sandbagging at my parents' place in Mosgiel. Poor oldies can't catch a break.
