At the time of writing, it appears that Tui Community has been hit hard by the latest round of heavy rain in the Tasman region, with reports of the Wainui river changing its course and washing out part of the community.

I wish I had blogged the Go Live....but, funnily enough, I had other things on my mind!

Anyway, here is a recap and some post go live stats.
