I do wonder why people are on the road instead of sheltering somewhere. I mean, that's common sense .

[@jessejules2092]

Trying to get to the place that they know they can shelter?

[@ev500sam]

Many prayers for all your first responders they are true heroes! 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🫶🏻👏🏻

🙁 Oh. That's alot of rain. Again. It's been raining here in Southern Hawkes Bay for the last 12 hours too. Take care and be safe everyone.

[@lochysloan]

I live in Dairy Flat and am trying to figure out where this is?

[@tracimckinstry8741]

Insanity or wanting insurance payouts?

[@suehowie152]

How much insurance do you think they will get?

[@KatelynsAdventures707]

When is this going to end.

[@suehowie152]

Hopefully it has and then you remember Australia last year..

[@KatelynsAdventures707]

@@suehowie152 the east coast of aussie got it a few times last year, one wondered when it would end, but the west didn’t get any cyclones or major rain last year. I’m feeling for the kiwis. I just saw that northland got it again today.

Those contractors who blocked the drains and caused all of this flooding need to pay for it, no amount of money should have been enough to cause this headache.

[@sailorsam6494]

When I saw this clip it had been posted 17min previously. If nz heard were to be a responsible reporter???? Where was this flood? When did it occur? What is the status of the road now?

[@Arctecflare]

Are you trolling?

[@tripytaka9462]

I'm with you, Bro. I've seen sections of the video on other posts with different headlines. I'm paying attention to the weather and looking for current updates regarding its impact. "People trapped in cars", really? It looks like some people drove into flood water. Vehicle failed. Had to be "rescued".

[@cjyoung7372]

Exactly new zealand mainstream media has become so lazy

[@TheShadowMan.]

Get a grip man. You seem to be freaking out about it. Don't look to KZbin for emergency management information and then unravel

[@daveopenz]

Bro civil defence, councils, police, fire fighters in you're local area for information....NOT the KZbin

[@jstep3427]

Absolutely gob smacked to see people still risking their lives and those of the emergency services personnel... Obviously no lessons learnt from Cyclone Gabrielle and the floods that happened earlier.

[@nooneisrightallthetime-zv7hs]

Hey Jainee you can’t park there love ! that’s a reserved spot
