Red Warning flood damage - Hawkes bay - New Zealand - by drone

The Tairāwhiti region has once again been affected by flooding and road closures following days of heavy rain, isolating locals and entire towns.

Heavy, persistent showers brought flooding and slips on State Highway 2 north of Gisborne, with a closed section of the highway sinking more and more every day.

Farmer Katie Mitchell said the water was gushing out of the road in front of her farm near Otoko, north of Gisborne, as it sank by almost a meter in two days.

“It rained all Friday night and then by Saturday the road was just destroyed,” she said.

The Waipawa River Bridge on SH 50 at Tikokino is washed out and the road closed
