More heavy rain hits West Coast

From Morning Report, 6:49 am on 10 February 2022

As if last week wasn't enough, West Coast has endured another night of heavy rain.

West Coast districts from Buller and the Nelson lakes, to Westland south of Fox Glacier, were issued an orange heavy rain warning until this morning.

Last night the road to Karamea was closed as a precaution due to the heavy rain expected overnight.

Buller District Mayor Jamie Cleine spoke to Susie Ferguson.
