Tears over evacuating from home

From Morning Report, 6:41 am on 19 July 2021

Of the many people staying in evacuation centres in Westport over the weekend were two neighbours,

Lorraine Williams and Stephen Switalla.

They've spent three nights at the Salvation Army centre after being forced to leave their homes on Friday because of the flooding.

Stephen Switalla told our reporter Anan Zaki there was no time to prepare for the evacuation.
