Don't forget to bring a towel
Apparently it's the worst in 50 years or some shit, according to stuff.co.nz. Have any of you got bad flooding? My yard is all flooded over at the moment, probably around 20-50mm of standing water. I've got a small inflatable boat, so I'm tempted to take it down the flooded Heathcote River from Cashmere to the estuary for lulz. If any one wants to join in, send me a PM. Can't promise you won't die though.

You don't need to try anything that dodgy though, lots of pseudo streams all over the place

I swam the VFR to work this morning
One thing that bugged me no end tho
...with the current "war on road safety" going on, I was amazed at the fact that with all this flooding, traffic lights out, debrie an shit all over the roads and morning traffic fighting to reach there destination....I didn't see a single cop out working to ensure "road safety" and helping with directing traffic through the MANY broken lights at busy intersections.(and clearing the multitude of bloody road cones that have been blown all over the roads...saw two cars hit some)
...is it just to much to ask for some road safety measures to be put in place
(or is it to hard to write tickets in this weather?)
Road safety campaign has just been proven to be an absolute joke!....the biggest storm in 50yrs, and the police have made piss all effort to ensure ACTUAL road safety for the public.

cops working to ensure road safety and directing traffic? Nah, really that would be work, like real work. Not like writing tickets for being 2.5 kms over the speed limit.
You must try harder at getting your "war on roadsafety" right, it is actually more a "war on non violent, non criminal citizens to extract payments to the government" ....really i thought you knew that.

Just make sure you don't exceed the speed limit by more than 10 knots....is it just to much to ask for some road safety measures to be put in place
(or is it to hard to write tickets in this weather?)
Also, keep your speed less than 5 knots when close to shore and swimmers.
Happy fishing!

But do those laws apply to unpowered craft as well?

Not sure, but I'd guess if you put a sail up you'd have no problems getting over 5 knots today.
Vid please if you happen to make it back alive.

I wish I had a waterproof camera, but unfortunately I don't. I'll see what I can do though.

So... eliminating your double negative, you're promising people will die?

Born to be mild
Lucky enough to stay unflooded over in Parklands. Not so lucky taking daughter to the airport this morning though. QEII drive gridlocked from Marshlands all the way to SH1 intersection. Allowed double the normal timfor the trip and she was still 5 minutes past the check in time. Got her and grandaughter on the flight but not her luggage.
Took my bike into Roger the mechanic over here in New Brighton last night for some loving today. Drove past his place this morning though and no sign of life so I hope the water that was entering his workshop last night hasn't washed all the bikes out into the estuary.

Stranded until 10.00 am this morning - late start to school for the kids and work for me while we waiting for the stream to go down. House is dry. 2 at work are under water :-(
