Johnny Morris on Eglinton St in Avondale during floods in Christchurch. The water had breached one of his three steps. Johnny Morris, on Eglinton St, said his sinks and toilets were backing up as the water submerged his first step and reached his garage. “We’ve got a bit to go yet,” he said. “I’m wracked that people are sightseeing and creating waves as they rush by. “The council needs to close the road.”
