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 drain 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 the 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 had to work in the hall. some of the power cells have been flooded and damaged. there have been evacuation from some houses
the rivers have broken their banks and there has also been strong gusts of wind.
Thank you for sharing your facts with us Nevaeh.
ReplyDeleteWe were oretty lucky where we live as we didn't get too much rain.There were a few blocks drains on the street.There were a lot of puddles in Waterloo Park.I think the ducks enjoyed the rain more than we did.
Did you get many puddles at your place?.
What have you been doing during lock down?.
I have been gardening and doing house work.I heard Mr Roberts say this morning,that he was going to be doing some gardening today.
