Updated 6:13pm — From politicians to the public, we’ve had a whole series of posts to our social networking and news site today at WeatherWatch.co.nz about the Wellington region’s heavy rain and flooding – so we wanted to share them with you.

Check out some of the submissions from Twitter and Facebook below, and if you have anything to share yourself, please send it through to us – either on WW Twitter, or WW Facebook!
