Hutt Valley flood 1976
The worst flood in living memory in the Hutt Valley was in Christmas 1976, with 153 millimetres recorded in 24 hours at Avalon
The floods caused $19 million of damage, which amounted to $145.5m in 2015.
We are looking for people who remember the flood, particularly someone who is in the same house. We would love to hear your memories.
