Christchurch floods 2021

Today (Tuesday 1 Jun 2021) I am writing about the floods. Heavy downfalls from Canterbury's code red storm saw floodwaters rise, cutting power, threatening lives and property in Christchurch and beyond.

A state of local emergency was declared for the whole region of Canterbury following heavy rain and flooding that began Sunday. Forecasters say the heavy downpours this end of May, 2021 could be a one in a hundred year event. The floods mostly hit in Ashburton. Hope you enjoyed my blog about floods. Did you have flooding near your house?

  1. Excellent effort Hannah, with some very good reporting. Great choice of image from
    a 'birds-eye' angle. How did the floods affect you? Label your images in the future so the reader can understand the connection between text and image. Well done!:-)
