Important Update on the weather.
BREAKING NEWS 1:40PM
SEVERE FLOODING IN CHRISTCHURCH IS ONLY GOING TO GET WORSE – HEAVIER RAIN MOVING IN.
(PLEASE ‘SHARE’ THE POST – VITAL INFORMATION)
Good afternoon. This is now one of the most severe storms to hit Canterbury & parts of the region continue to be dealt too, with over 150mm recorded in some areas.
Our major concern is Christchurch city, with the ‘Feed zone’ eyeing Christchurch up over the next 6 hours. We could see another staggering 40-50mm in this time frame. Parts of the city are already under water & conditions will only worsen over the next 6 hours. The major concern is the Heathcote River & close surrounds with severe flooding in the area; high tide is around 3:30pm, the worst possible timing.
