Torrential Rains Hit, Isolate Gisborne

New Zealand's easternmost city — Gisborne, where day begins — is recovering from the effects of torrential rains which cut roads and isolated the city. According to the New Zealand Herald, Gisborne and parts of the New Zealand East Coast appeared to have been particularly badly hit with more than 300mm of rain falling in some spots in the past 24 hours while Hawke's Bay also felt the brunt of the storms.
