Weather live: Evacuations, rivers flooded, roads closed as rain continues in So…

Another red warning and the roads are already a mess. Typical south island weather, should rename it to 'the slip zone'

Bloody hell, my morning coffee's getting cold watching this liveblog. Hope everyone stays safe though

Maybe if the council actually cleaned the drains instead of building another bike lane, we wouldn't be in this mess. Just saying.

Thoughts with all the families having to evacuate, must be terrifying. ❤️

Woke up to water creeping up our street. Not ideal at 6am. Chairs are on the table and we're ready to go.
