Flooding in Canterbury

 





WAL about the damage that the rain has done  over the past few  days  

In Canterbury.


We have had big puddles and a lot of blocked gutters and drains in Christchurch over the last couple of days.



We have had to try to stay away from the surface 

Flooding. This has been caused by some of the drains  being blocked with leaves and the water can”t drain away.



The flood has caused sewage and other pollution to overflow and now a lot of water is contaminated. If you  come in contact with this polluted water you must shower yourself and wash your clothes.



Some schools  have been damaged and have had to work in the hall. Some of the power cells have been flooded and damaged. There  have been evacuations from some houses.



The rivers have broken their banks and there has also been strong gusts of wind.
