WAL we have been learning about the damage that the rain has done over the last few days in canterbury.
We have had big puddles and a lot of blocked gutters and drains in Christchurch over the last few days.
We had to try and stay away from the surface flooding . this has been caused by some of the drains being blocked with leaves and 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 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 bankes and there has also been strong gusts of wind
