Mangawhai spent the weekend cleaning up flooding damage from an enormous downpour on Friday night.<\/p>\n

A regional council rain gauge\u00a0recorded 250mm of rainfall in just three hours<\/a>\u00a0– on ground that was already saturated from Cyclone Gabrielle.<\/p>\n

Cars were submerged and stuck, others temporarily stranded between slips, and some homes were flooded and their occupants evacuated.<\/p>\n

The bill for roading repairs from Cyclone Gabrielle was already\u00a0estimated at $120m in Northland alone<\/a>, before Friday’s storm.<\/p>\n

Damien Hochberg had lived in his new house by the estuary for six months.<\/p>\n

It is insured, but he estimates there is close to $500,000 worth of damage to his property and possessions, submerged in a metre of water on Friday.<\/p>\n

Walls are soaked through, electrics ruined, furniture and appliances are unsalvagable, and he knows it will be months before he will live there again.<\/p>\n

“The beds are buggered, there’s no bed for me to sleep on, I’ve got no power, no nothing. So basically I just take out what’s salvageable and just air the house out for the next couple of days.”<\/p>\n
