⚠️An important update from Horizons Regional Council about this weekend's incoming rain.

⚠️ 🌧️ A heavy rain warning is in place from now until Thursday 20 April 8am. Expect 120 to 160 mm of rain about the Tararua Ranges. Heavy rain may cause streams and rivers to rise rapidly. Surface flooding/slips are also possible and driving conditions may be hazardous.

There is no tsunami threat from the earthquake near Pōrangahau. We hope everyone is feeling okay. Remember, Drop, Cover and Hold is the right action to take in an earthquake. For more info or to lodge a felt report, visit geonet.org.nz x.com/geonet/status/…
