Show Notes
A Gisborne Civil Defence manager says they're now dealing with the clean up from this week's severe weather.
States of emergency in the Wairoa District and Hastings Heretaunga Ward remain in place.
Roads were closed and people evacuated after heavy rain lashed the Hawke's Bay and Gisborne regions yesterday.
Wairoa District Council says 400 properties have been impacted, more than 100 significantly.
Gisborne Civil Defence and Emergency Management Group Manager Ben Green told Mike Hosking that wind was the major issue.
He says the challenge with that was power lines and a significant number of trees down across roads.
