Floods

 Talofa welcome back to my blog, today we are going to be talking about the Canterbury floods. 


The most flooded place was Ashburton. Peoples houses, cars and their garages are flooded. Most families and peoples had to be evacuated because the flood was getting worse and can endanger peoples life. Most of the floods are mostly in Ashburton. up to 4000 homes are flooded in Ashburton . Homes would be evacuated during daylight if required, rather than overnight, Kris Faafoi said . Farm worker Steve Naylor was keeping a close eye on the Hinds River that borders the farm he works on. Naylor said there was no water in the overflow on Winslow Rd at 6am this morning but it was significantly rising . All the live stock on the farm were safe but he was worried because the hinds river would breach its bank later on Sunday as the water moved down streamed . 

Hope you enjoyed my blog, see you next time .
