It's just starting to pour down again here - 11pm Monday, but this rain band is meant to pass over by morning.
I've just seen my 2nd cousin on tv news, talking about damage to his dairy farm. For any rugby fans from about 15-20 years ago, cousin Gary Knight used to be an All Black with number 3 on his back. He was worried about paying his mortgage without an income. It's supposed to be the most damaging natural disaster in NZ since the 1931 Hawke's Bay earthquake.
