Tongariro and Turangi Flooding
 

http://homepages.ihug.co.nz/~colin.m/
Someone sent me this url is anyone wants to see the state of the Tongariro
River as of last night.
Hydro pool bridge is closed due to extensive damage, 100+ people have been
evacuated from their homes.

This is pretty minor in comparison to what has been happening in the past 2
weeks.
Approx 1 billion in flood damage in the past 2 weeks.

We've been hearing about it on the News here in Aus.
.... sounds (and looks) bloody horrendous.

You were having a pretty dry spell for a while there
weren't you ...

Tongariro and Turangi Flooding
 

The TT has broken its banks as well and people have been evacuated.

The Hinemaia is running 2 metres over the top of the damn.

The Tongariro usually flows at 16 m3/sec, she is running at 1005m3/sec.

It is getting nasty all round, and looks like the lower North Island is in
for another pasting later this afternoon.

Tony,
long time no see.
Was at a surfcasting competition today the winning fish was the only one
caught........a 30gm herring. Poor bugger had to stand up and take the prize
of beer fridge and $1000. I guess the prize far outweighed the embarrassment
