Helping Rai Valley residents after losing home in flooding
Helping Rai Valley residents recover after flooding causes landslide to wash home off hill in the middle of the night
Rai Valley, Marlborough
The flooding over the last few days in the Marlborough/Tasman region has been devastating, and after another heavy night of 175mm of rain, my nana's property she was renting was swept off the foundations when the hillside came down and pushed it off the hill and down onto the road at 3.30am in the morning. My nana and friend luckily got out just in time as they felt the house moving and managed to seek shelter at a neighbouring property where other Ronga Valley residents were sheltering from the flooding.
They have lost everything and though we are absolutely grateful and thankful for their safe escape, they had to leave all possessions and belongings which will mostly be irreparable after the deluge came through the property.
