Parts of Northland are still cleaning up after last month's massive storm, with Moerewa, above, particularly hard hit. MetService is warning of more heavy rain tonight.
As parts of Northland are still cleaning up after last month's devastating storm, Metservice warns that more heavy rain could fall on the region tonight.
Northland was devastated by a storm on July 17-18 that dumped 220mm of rain on the region in a few hours.
It led to widespread
flooding and slips, with water entering dozens of homes and blocking regional roads. Two slips still have State Highway 1 through Mangamuka Gorge, in the Far North, closed with repairs expected to take several more weeks.
Many people are still mopping up after the storm, with some stores yet to reopen and insurance assessors still determining the full extent of the damage.
But MetService warns that more heavy rain and strong winds tonight could cause more problems.
