Flooding christchurch

David Timbs of Peter Timbs Meats says while it's been disruptive for his staff, he feels for residents who are cleaning up their homes again.

"We’re really lucky in St Albans, we’ve got a great community following and I feel sorry for the residents. More rain this week has seen the city hit once again by flooding, with a number of roads and schools closed. The city's been hit again by rain and flooding, with MetService on Tuesday saying monthly rainfall at the station at Christchurch Airport has exceeded the previous wettest July of 180.8mm set in 1977.
