The Flood

On valentine’s day, Feb 14th 2023, Cyclone Gabrielle ripped through New Zealand, devastating the Hawkes Bay region with unprecedented flooding and destruction. The storm claimed the immediate lives of 11 individuals. In this 7-Part Mini series, you're going to hear first-hand accounts of what it was like to live through that experience - from those who did. Many of these stories have never been heard before. Finally we address the question many residents still ask themselves today, where was the warning?
