Save It has been another night of surface flooding and heavy rain in the capital city.
At least two homes in the Wellington region had to be evacuated last night, as a precaution, after a slip and surface flooding surrounded their homes.
The two properties affected were in the suburb of
Whitby, in Porirua.
Earlier, owners of some commercial properties were busy laying down sandbags in a bid to protect their premises - as water levels rose.
The area had about 60mm of rain between 8pm and 1am.
