    Parts of South Canterbury are in a State of Emergency as wild weather hits the South Island

    Parts of South Canterbury are in a State of Emergency as wild weather hits the South Island


    The Timaru District Council made the call around midnight - due to damaged stop banks sparking a risk of flooding for Pleasant Point residents.

    People between Butlers Road and Kerrytown Road have been evacuated.

    Pleasant Point-Temuka Ward Councillor Paddy O'Reilly says the river hasn't broken through the stop bank - yet.

    MetService has issued heavy rain and strong wind watches for Canterbury north of Ashburton, Marlborough and the bottom of the North Island.
