Plimmerton flood: roads turn to rivers bringing kura down valley

Residents in the Porirua suburb of Plimmerton were unexpectedly visited by kura/crayfish as the flooding carried some of them down the valley. Heavy rain on Sunday afternoon meant 15 homes were deemed uninhabitable with extensive damage to roads. The cleanup operation will continue today after more heavy rain last night. Allan Dodson is a Plimmerton resident whose house has managed to avoid the flooding. He told our reporter Harry Lock he was there to witness his road being turned into a river on Sunday.
