  • Fiordland in New Zealand’s South Island has been deluged by 1.1 metres of rain in the past three days alone, stranding hikers, causing landslides and washing away roads. The region usually receives about 10 metres of rain a year. Video from helicopters shows the extent of the destruction. Nearly 400 people in the township of Milford Sound have been cut off by the flooding after roads had to be closed

    To tell the truth having your roads ripped apart is bad.. But at the moment it’s better to have more water controlling your land then these terrible wild fires going on in other parts. 🙏🏽👨🏽‍🚒
