Thousands of households have passed the night without power after strong winds and heavy rain downed trees, lifted roofs and flooded roads.
The storm band that left the Nelson Tasman district flooded again and soaked much of the rest of the country has been slowly making its way east overnight.
The Nelson Tasman region remains under a state of emergency, with evacuations, widespread flooding, slips, power cuts, and pleas to conserve water.

Slip sends debris crashing onto two Porirua homes, forces evacuation
Driving rain in the capital on already sodden ground has caused a landslip on Acheron Road, forcing residents to evacuate. Photo: RNZ / Rebekah Parsons-King A landslip has crashed down against two homes in Porirua, forcing the occupants out until engineers decide whether it's safe to live in. Fire and Emergency crews were called to the slip on Acheron Road about 9.30am on Sunday. Porirua City Council's infrastructure general manager Mike Mendonça said the land came down with heavy rain hammering already sodden ground. He said about half a dozen properties on Acheron Road were initially evacuated, and people had since been able to return to all but two of them. "There's some debris leaning up against the back of the homes and we're still worried about the stability of the bank which is why we have a geotech engineer investigation still underway," Mendonça said. Engineers had assessed the land and properties on Walker Avenue above the slip and were comfortable they were safe, he said. The slip was on private land, so dealing with the clean-up would now be in the hands of homeowners, insurance companies and engineers, Mendonça said. There had been a few slips in Porirua over the past couple of weeks amid persistent rain, with some closing roads, he said. "By and large they've been an inconvenience, but not a major for us. "Like the rest of New Zealand we're a bit wet, but not nearly as bad as it is in the South Island, so our thoughts are with those guys down there."

Long-term changes needed to bailouts, natural disaster responses
Photo: RNZ / Nathan Mckinnon Prime Minister Christopher Luxon says the government won't be able to keep bailing out flooded homeowners . Luxon told Morning Report Cabinet wouldn't be considering a package of assistance for the Tasman district on Monday, because it was too early in the flood response. The region has been battered by heavy rain , forcing people from their homes, closing roads and leaving some cut off. "At this stage we have to focus on the reponse and then we'll make the assessment on what's needed from a recovery point of view." Luxon said there was concern about further rainfall and slips, and he was impressed with the local response. Flooding on the Otuwhero Valley.

The report recommended individuals should be responsible for knowing the risks and making their own decisions about whether to move away from high-risk areas. A climate policy expert called the suggestion "morally bankrupt" . "In principle the government won't be able to keep bailing out people in this way, "Luxon said. He said Climate Change Minister Simon Watts had been working hard to get a bipartisan view on how to deal long term with these weather events. "This is a long term issue. We need a proper framework in place to work out whether its landowners, councils, whether its central government, banks, insurers that actually have to create a framework for dealing with these weather events an how we handle them going forward." Luxon said the government would think through the report, and many other countries were dealing with the same challenges. "We need to find a way to manage these events going forward and who takes reponsibility and is there a shared responsibility."

'Flash flood' devastates small community in Motueka Valley
A "flash flood" has carved a path of destruction through a small rural settlement in the Motueka Valley, sending weary residents back to square one. Record rainfall has caused widespread damage across Nelson-Tasman, with Ngātīmoti hit by devastating floods not once, but twice in two weeks. Shiloh Hobi's serene demeanour belied the sheer scale of destruction caused by Friday's rain as he showed RNZ what was once a small creek at the back of his property. The land had been gouged out by floodwater, leaving behind it piles of silt and splintered wood in what locals estimated was a trail a couple of hundred metres long. Ngātīmoti resident Shiloh Hobi, on Sunday, after having slash come through his property. Photo: RNZ/Samuel Rillstone Hobi said the creek had only just been cleared of the mess caused by the flooding two weeks ago when Friday's rain hit - bringing with it a shocking amount of new slash. "Thousands of tonnes of logs and silt... has come down and probably hundreds of tonnes of soil washed out to the sea that is impossible to be measured. "I am very glad that it [the slash] stopped here, because if that had gone down into the school and houses down the road - that would have been absolutely devastating." The source of the slash was a forestry block on steep land about two kilometres upstream, Hobi said. He guessed a dam of water - caught behind trapped logs - reached at least five metres high before it burst - releasing a flash-flood of soil and silt into the settlement below. "We heard the huge boulders and the logs ... it's very noisy, very noisy. "No one really knows what happens, because it's so wild when a flood like this comes and so many logs together - it's absolutely unpredictable." Slash in Ngātīmoti, on Sunday, following flooding and heavy rains. Photo: RNZ/Samuel Rillstone Hobi said the forestry company had been very responsive, but its representatives were left speechless by what they saw on Saturday. "They didn't know what to say because they themselves were absolutely shocked that so much has come down, so much has collapsed." It was clear forestry practices needed to change, he said, noting that the recent damage - on top of what people were already facing - had left some reeling. "But I have found that anger is never a solution to anything. It maybe activates us to do something, but I think real decision-making needs to comes from a place of peace. "I see a future where this kind of complex situation can be solved."
