Otago cleans up after severe weather

From Morning Report, 6:18 am on 21 November 2018

The clean-up begins on Wednesday after Tuesday's deluge in Otago. Severe weather warnings in the South Island were lifted overnight as rain across the Dunedin and Clutha districts eased off. But rivers still rose and floodwaters are covering some highways. The township of Henley on the Taieri Plains was particularly badly hit when the Taieri River threatened to top its banks and routes out of the settlement were cut off. James Adam has a dairy farm about 5kms from Henley. He talks to Susie Ferguson.
