Anyone caught up in NZ Floods?
Has anyone been caught up in the Lower North Island Floods? Thankfully my house is ok as we don't live near a river! Here's a few pics from www.nzoom.com. 100+ million clean up and we're forcast for even more heavy rain this afternoon

Not so bad but Shrewsbury have had shedloads of floods and the very recent ones (like a few weeks ago) were pretty bad. Not a patch on those ones though. Not fun.

Can we swap the heat of the Gold Coast for some of the rain in NZ?
