another morning, another flood. perfect start to the day with my coffee watching water creep into my garage. cheers grey district council 🙄

River Cole2026-07-23T20:17:28.000Z

you still trust them? wake up, they don't care about us.

River Cole2026-07-23T19:56:28.000Z

what a load of shit. they knew this was coming, council did nothing as usual. bet they're all still in bed while people's homes are stuffed.

Luca Reid2026-07-23T20:02:28.000Z

poor buggers. hope everyone's okay, saw the photos on fb looks terrible. if anyone needs a hand with sandbags hmu

Quinn Murphy2026-07-23T20:37:28.000Z

same here, my street is a river. council needs a good kick up the arse.

Quinn Murphy2026-07-23T20:14:28.000Z

classic greymouth weather. i blame the council for not clearing drains, always the same story every damn year

Taylor Wright2026-07-23T20:37:28.000Z

time to move house? maybe uphill? just a thought

Luca Reid2026-07-23T20:45:28.000Z

facts, but most people can't afford to just up and move. system's broken.

Hayden Kelly2026-07-23T20:57:28.000Z

ffs this is what happens when you keep building on floodplains and deny climate change. get your act together nz

Ben Sullivan2026-07-23T21:07:28.000Z

exactly, all talk no action. sick of it.

Luca Reid2026-07-23T21:06:28.000Z

anyone know how bad the slip is? hoping it's not on the main road, need to get to work

Hayden Kelly2026-07-23T21:48:28.000Z

heard it's on the coast road, expect delays. typical monday commute from hell.

Ben Sullivan2026-07-23T21:38:28.000Z

just got an update from council, water receding slowly. but the mess... gonna take weeks to clean up. typical monday hey

River Cole2026-07-23T21:49:28.000Z

yeah nah get stuffed. council can shove their "we're monitoring the situation" up their arse. our floor is ruined and no one gives a crap.

Quinn Murphy2026-07-23T22:04:28.000Z

you're right, my place is wrecked too. insurance better pay up or i'll lose it.

Quinn Murphy2026-07-23T22:15:28.000Z

sending love to everyone affected. we'll get through this, kiwis are tough 💪
