Last week much of Northland and the Bay of Plenty was hit by severe rain and flooding. Four metres of rain fell in 24 hours!!
Here is a link to an article about a woman whose house was threatened by rapidly rising water from a stream usually 100m away from her house. By the end of the day the water was 20m from her back garden.
Most of the verb forms which explain what happened are in the past simple form. There are two examples of the past perfect simple.
The first one 'had been recorded' is past perfect passive and refers to the time before and up until the continuation of the 'weather warning'. The second one 'had escaped' is used in reported speech.
