Digger clears blocked culvert to save road during 100 year Nelson Flood

19 August 2022 - Its been a wet week in Nelson/Marlborough. State of emergency declared, thousands of people evacuated from their homes, breached river banks, roads lost under mudslides. Some reports of over a metre of rainfall in 5 days. I noticed one of the big culverts on our shared access driveway was blocked up and threatening to overflow so I walked the digger down to clear it before it took out the road.
