The NZTA has advised of a number of state highway closures and Civil Defence Northland has strongly recommended residents avoid unessential travel.
Whangārei residents have been asked to conserve water for drinking and emergency use only due to a burst water main, while treatment plants are struggling to cope with the "intense" rainfall.
If you've been slammed by the weather and would like to share your story and some photos, please email me at caroline.williams@stuff.co.nz or comment blow.
Stay safe out there.
The onerahi Hall is being set up for the CIVIL DEFENCE if anyone is in need.

I'd never want to cause one unnecessary pain or suffering, which is why we've chosen to manage pests in our home with traps. It's not ideal, but it's better - and safer - than poison. I've done a little research on humane, effective vermin control during the wet months, when they like to come in from the cold. Take a look:

I'm working on a travel story for Stuff about the things that have surprised returning Kiwis about New Zealand. If you have recently returned from overseas or know someone who has, it would be great to hear about the things that have stood out for you, for better or for worse. Whether it's to do with the weather, the cost of things, the public transport, the food, the housing, the people or something else entirely, we'd be keen to hear about it. Please remember that your comment may be included in the article, unless you say you don't want it to be. Thank you.

"My neighbour Ann, a retired special ed teacher, goes the extra mile for her community. On her neighbourhood walks she notices blocked drains, or dangerous pavements on school routes and spends time phoning the Council to get them fixed. She is part of a local group that petitioned for new school crossings on Takanini School Road. She volunteers at the local school for free maths tuition. She sets a really great example of looking out for her community and makes the world a better place."
