Flooding in the region

While Canterbury keeps shaking in seemingly endless aftershocks, here in the Wellington region we've been dealing with the weather instead - with heavy rain in the Tararuas bring the Hutt River well up - http://www.stuff.co.nz/national/4098921/Hutt-River-flood-fears-ease, and also causing flooding in Wairarapa, and in Horowhenua (where a boil water notice has been issued) - http://www.stuff.co.nz/national/4098940/Flooding-cuts-road-links. High winds have also been a problem in the past couple of days, with winds gusting to 140kph in the Rimutakas, blowing over an ambulance which was attending to a van than had been blown over by the winds.
