Subject: RE: BS: new zealand floods
Getting a bit better now, but still a lot of folks without power. The linesmen keep putting them up and the trees keep knocking them down. The ground is saturated and the wind high, and the linesmen knackered.
The wind caused a LOT of floating trees to block culverts and knock down bridges.

I'm well out of it in Auckland, and it wasn't nice here.
