Heavy downpours and floods wreaked havoc in New Zealand's South Island, causing waterlogging, damaging homes, power cuts and uprooting hundreds of trees. The rising water of all rivers crossed danger mark in some eastern areas of Christchurch. Authorities ordered to close schools and colleges due to the flooding risk. More than 1,000 homes remained out of power across Christchurch. The administration declared a state of local emergency for the whole Canterbury region of the South Island. People have been advised to stay at home to avoid road closure and flooding risks. Red level warnings in the country were "issued for the most extreme weather systems which may cause widespread disruption and severe impacts," according to MetService.
