      Ja, mens kan niks doen nie. Ook om n rivier te verander is moeilikheid soek. Gelukkig het hul die afgelope tyd die bedding mooi oopgemaak. Ek dink al hul platgestote dele is nou weer vol diep gate

          Dankie, daar was nogal skade, veral in die middestad waar water in geboue ingestroom het

      48mm in half an hour! Think of it how much it was at the end of the day. Photos were taken the day after and the water is halfway down already

      Yes, the scene took my breath away yesterday. I think the overcast sky helped to make it so clear

    Some of these stretches of water look man-made, like reservoirs, although I know natural lakes and waterways can be made to look that way. The picture of the swollen Hutt River is impressive.

      They are man made. It is a floodplain in the Hutt River. They strengthen them both about to years back. Earth quakes are many here and they had to do it. They enlarged the one also by making a higher wall. They are planning to make another bigger one and two smaller ones a bit up the river.

        Ah, thanks for explaining. I can see why they would need strengthening with so many earthquakes.

          Yes, they also have to strengthen the older buildings here. We had some wake-up calls from nature the last view years.

            Yes, calls to action can’t be ignored. Better safe than sorry, Scrapydo.
