UPDATE: Wednesday 6.30am
Christchurch appears to have escaped the worst of ex-Tropical Cyclone Gita after the cyclone split and tracked further south than predicted.
The rainfall in the city was half the forecast figure. The rain is expected to ease this morning.
There was flooding around the city and signage was placed at 28 sites. Three roads remain closed – Clarendon Terrace, Owles Terrace and part of New Brighton Road (between Pages Road and Baker Street).
