it's like not drinking city fluro water (or even showering in it) for years then going anywhere near it again .. I am very sensitive to it now. still, gotta get some info to some extent. around 5% of the articles on my daily perusal do I actually click on to @ https://www.abc.net.au/news/justin/

clothes on for heaven's sake.

" State of Emergency has been declared for Auckland, with yet more rain on the way bringing the likelihood of further flooding and landslides.

Early on Monday morning, New Zealand's National Institute of Water and Atmospheric Research (NIWA) announced that Auckland has now recorded:


Over 769% of its January monthly normal rainfall

Over 38% of its entire annual rainfall

NZ's largest city was also nearing its record for the wettest month ever

"
"As we told you on the weekend, Auckland saw a phenomenal amount of rain in a three-hour period late on Friday afternoon, with most areas topping 120 mmm and a top three-hour fall of 153mm.

The average monthly total for January in most parts of Auckland is around 75 mm, so that was around double the monthly average in one extremely hectic afternoon.

Auckland airport saw its wettest 24-hour period on record between Friday morning and Saturday morning, with 249 mm.

Meanwhile, most parts of Auckland are nearing 300 mm for the month of January. That makes this Auckland’s wettest January on record, and as mentioned, the record for any month is in sight. That was July 1988 when over 320 mm was recorded."

Zimmerman to the rescue

"The number of flood-affected homes is estimated to be about 4,000 but the exact number is still being counted.

While experts will assess whether or not homes are salvageable, Mr Zimmermann expects many would not be.

"It's highly likely there'll be a large number of premises that will be required to be demolished for safety because they have been inundated totally for a long time," Mr Zimmermann said."

heads up for a long shot.
