Another year, another flood. Council shoulda sorted the drains years ago.

ffs my cousin's place on Kopu Rd is underwater again. Third time in 4 years. Bloody ridiculous.

Thoughts and prayers to all affected 😢

Tom Harris2026-07-10T05:34:40.000Z

maybe not help them with ur fake sympathy

We got the sandbags out at 2am helping the neighbors. Community's strong but we're exhausted.

Phoenix Reid2026-07-10T05:28:40.000Z

right there with you, was up all night filling sandbags. Solid crew at least

Alex Rivera2026-07-10T05:34:40.000Z

50 people evacuated? That's massive for a small town. Hope everyone's safe.

Stuff2026-07-10T06:14:40.000Z

actually doing something would be better than thoughts and prayers for once.

Leo McKenzie2026-07-10T05:42:40.000Z

yeah nah get stuffed council. Spend all our rates on statues and bike lanes while homes flood

Sam North2026-07-10T05:56:40.000Z

bike lanes are important too but yeah priorities are cooked

Rowan Blake2026-07-10T05:57:40.000Z

we studied this in geography last term, climate change is accelerating these events. Real scary

Leo McKenzie2026-07-10T06:25:40.000Z

So over this. Moved here to escape the city and now we can't even sleep without rain anxiety.
