Evacuations, closed roads and landslips in Northland

The weather front affecting large parts of the country has caused flooding, washouts and slips. There have been evacuations in Northland, while in Nelson there were more evacuations late yesterday. In the Far North where the weather has closed multiple roads, many people are without power and some people have been evacuated from homes in Kaitaia. Kaeo is the worst hit area from the flooding, but the council is keeping a close eye on Awanui, Moerewa, Rangiahua and Kohukohu. Top Energy has outages at seven locations throughout the Far North. RNZ's reporter Finn Blackwell is in Kaeo and spoke to Susie Ferguson.
