Sandspit flooding

Our quiet, safe little beach on the southern end of the Manukau Harbour was a bit different today. We have had lots of rain (most welcome), high winds from the north-west and big tides. So today, the beach was very flooded and rough. Really just a set of diary shots to remember the storm.

Great record of the Storm of january 2018.. lets hope the wind drops before the next tide..

[Nic Sturgis]

Yeah that doesn't look ideal.

Did you receive a fair amount of tree damage too?

[Brigette]

Looking forward to summer returning

It looks awful - all that muddy water swirling around but hopefully you are dry inside!

Looking pretty wet and flooded there. Nice diary collage.

This looks pretty bad -- hope it will soon disappear without too much devastation !

Wow that's a lot of water. Being from the Hikurangi swamp area originally I am pretty familiar with flooding. I still have very vivid memories of cyclone Bola and the widespread damage that caused. Our farm was totally under water then.

Great collage, hope the water recedes quickly

[Pat Knowles]

You have had some rain! The slide shows us how much! Winds too, this looks a bit like winter in Lancashire!

[Denise Wood]

Great captures :)

[Pyrrhula]

Could be a pic.`s of our country. The rain made the rivers flooded and everywhere we taking protections for the high water level.

[Peter]

Super record Dianne looks really wild, hope the levels soon return to normal:)

[Sarah Bremner]

Ooooh. ...hope that doesn't stay too long 😕

Crikey, I know you said you needed some rain, but this is a bit drastic. Hope it dries out soon. Great diary shot of the storm

That's such good documentation of a lot of flooding.

Yikes. That's flooding.

[Marnie]

Yikes, that must've been some storm. Good idea to take some shots of the flooding.

[Margo]

Hope the water goes down really soon!!

Feel so sorry for those people whose houses are flooded. What a mess and headache to deal with this.

Gosh, that was some storm! I guess it came at the same time as the king tides.
