I found the same link. What worries me is that Picton is just across the channel from Foxton, so that means that the water levels are probably about the same in both places, and everyone there got evacuated. I was pretty amazed at how much coverage this ISN'T getting. I mean, not one word on the "world news". Granted, NZ is pretty far away from everywhere else, but still.

Could be worse, could be raining.
