Incredible footage has emerged of a boat zooming down flood-inundated streets of Edgecumbe.
The footage, titled "Edgecumbe flooding and evacuation by jet boat. Sad day for this little town", was posted on Facebook today by Brandon Crowley.
It shows a film crew surveying the carnage after a stop bank was breached, submerging the township under water.
Streets resemble murky, swift-flowing rivers and cars appear nearly totally submerged beneath the torrent.
"That's where those dogs are Doug," one man says, pointing to a single storey house as the boat floats in its driveway. "Well they were."
