Rainstorm moving north after causing Nelson emergency
Dozen of houses in Nelson have been damaged by flooding and slips caused by heavy rain the region, with more homes evacuated this afternoon.
Roads and footpaths near the Matai River - which runs through Nelson - have eroded away, with the river breaching its banks in a number of places.
Newstalk ZB reporter Tyler Adams said many houses close to the river in the centre of town had been damaged.
"A lot of people out there, their houses have just been tipped in to the river and as the day goes on we hear more about evacuations. We have an area called The Wood, which is just two minutes out of the CBD, about 40-50 residents have been evacuated out of their houses there. A lot of those houses have just crumbled on the surface that they're on."
Incident commander Steve Caldwell confirmed residents were being evacuated from Grove Street.
"There's all sorts of rumblings going on at the back and we're not taking any chance at all, so people have been asked to leave their houses and they're being very co-operative with us,'' he says.
Hobbit House Built For Hobbit Habit! | Collectors' Quest
My own collection of Hobbit-themed stuff is mostly confined to one drawer of action figures, a giant talking Treebeard which is simply too large for a drawer, and a shelf full of unopened action figures which will one day find their way into a drawer. I love them all, as they represent a very cool time in my life during which my friends and I would forget about our college midterms for one night (for three consecutive years) and attend the opening night of one of the trilogy’s films. I’ll admit it here, once again : Gandalf fighting the Balrog is one of the best movie scenes ever created, and it gives me little tears of excited joy.
