Flash flooding


Well, this afternoon has seen a bit of action in the old town... A heavy downpour early this afternoon followed by consistent heavy rain resulted in storm water systems overloading. While most parts of the city coped, some areas experienced a bit of surface flooding.

Most motorists coped with the unexpected obstacles but there were a few hoons 4WDing in the puddles.

Looking at the Fire Service jobs it looks like there was a bit of action in Wanganui too. The irony is... I picked up a bunch of fire restriction signs this afternoon and we go to a restricted fire season tomorrow night.
