I used to work at a school on the south side of Mt Pirongia & I've seen the rivers and streams rise many times. Friday night's rain was a huge deluge all at once. Ōtorohanga has always had the ability to flood, but this time was possibly the first time it flooded in certain place due to the deluge.
