We Whakatane residents can safely say the drought is over. Over 90mm of rain in an hour will do that I guess. Wednesday night I went into town with Troy as he photographed the flooding.
This is the Whakatane bridge the morning before the deluge - the calm before the storm so to speak.
I got to test drive my new purple gumboots. I discovered they are inneffective in water knee deep or higher.
When is a traffic island a traffic island? The bottom of McAlister Street about 11:30pm Wednesday night.
The morning after. No rain! This morning the river was still muddy but not too muddy that these caspian terns couldn't find a fish or two beneath the surface.
Lets hope the long weekend will be fine.
