My son's school was evacuated Tuesday morning by UNIMOG (It led TV3 news after the Shotover story!) so he had a great day.
Rain was so heavy I wasn't sure we would get home - our road was closed just after we got into town. The water levels dropped a tad, so I negotiated with my class to finish and hour early and got the boys out of school and headed home.

We stayed home yesterday, slips on the road and loads of surface flooding including a small river appearing in the front paddock.

Off to work and school today - boys are disappointed that they don't get another day to sleep in!

Thanks for asking
