@CraigLordAkl California has an historical record of a major flood happening roughly every 200 years. What are the odds of NZ having a similar pattern? https://t.co/oZPTiievpi

@NZGreens @jamespeshaw These storms are shown to occur roughly every 200 years. If it happens again next year I'll join the green party. In the mean time, lets all take a deep breath. https://t.co/oZPTiievpi
