HOMES INUNDATED
HEAVY RAIN AT WHANGAREI RECORD FALL FOR ONE DAY [ Per Press Association.] WHANGAREI, May 3. During the 24 hours ended at nine o’clock to-day, 8.52 inches of rain fell at Whangarei, the heaviest fall for one day since the records commenced in 1911. Actually the fall was compressed into a period between noon yesterday and seven o’clock to-day. Once again little or no damage was done, but a great deal of inconveni-
ence was caused and business people and householders in low-lying areas were given cause for anxiety. Several houses were invaded and many others were completely surrounded by water.
