[00:05] <mwhudson> i think i am bored of very heavy rain
[00:20] <olly> mwhudson: someone seems to be listening
[00:21] <mwhudson> olly: metservice still forecasting another 10mm or so for today
[00:22] <mwhudson> thunder has stopped at least
[00:22] <hads> huh, it's sunny here.
[00:22]  * olly was just noting that it suddenly stopped about 10 minutes after you said that
[00:22] <olly> at least here
[00:27] <mwhudson> yeah, here too
[00:27] <mwhudson> it's just lulling us into a false sense of security though i bet
[00:58] <chilts_> still lashing down here - pretty much the worst it's been all day
[00:59] <chilts_> over a week of rain really
[01:09] <olly> "Both major state highways in and out of Wellington are now shut" says http://www.stuff.co.nz/national/68535256/evacuations-after-heavy-rain-floods-and-slips-in-kapiti-live-blog
[01:12] <mwhudson> lower hutt got 63mm in two hours according to metservice
[01:13] <hads> Wow, I didn't even know this was going on.
[01:16] <chilts> yeah, we just moved (last week) to be on the banks of the Hutt River ... am hoping that we don't get a 100 year storm and it breaks through the stop-bank
[01:16] <hads> heh
[01:41] <olly> i went to look at the stream in the gully at the bottom of our section
[01:41] <olly> and it's a minitorrent
[01:42] <olly> and the water has lifted a cover on the sewerage pipe and is gushing out
[01:42] <olly> I suspect it is mostly rain water at least
