Neighbour chainsaws through flood-strewn trees to rescue vineyard workers

Scott Hammond/Stuff A vineyard at Kaituna is ruined by the weekend’s flooding. It was then that the pair realised the kitchen, slightly lower than the main part of the sleepout, was already about 20 centimetres deep in water. It didn’t take long for the rest of the house to fill up either. The Marlborough District Council rain report recorded 212 millimetres of rain at Onamalutu on Saturday, which was about 20 kilometres away from where Forgione and Topran were. The following day, 89.1mm was recorded. With the road blocked by burst riverbanks either side of them, they thought they might be stuck.

Marlborough in race against time as more rain on the way

“We’re not sure how much water got into the houses . The stop banks will be bomb-proof by the time we’re finished.” Marlborough Mayor John Leggett said the region’s civil defence team was conscious that more heavy rain could add more water to Marlborough s “already sodden soil”. More bad weather could affect Queen Charlotte Drive, which re-opened on Tuesday for the first time in three days with traffic measures, so workers could continue clearing slips. “Public safety is the only priority . Caution is key.” Leggett said the civil defence team was not yet sure how many houses had been damaged by the wild weather.
