Residents survey destruction left by Wellington's flash flood

Damaged walls and floors are being ripped out of homes across Wellington, as residents and business owners survey the destruction left by Wellington's flash flood on Monday. One Berhampore couple is stripping their home and relocating their business after floodwaters inundated their house in the early hours of the morning. The cost of the damage could be in the hundreds of millions of dollars, Wellington's Mayor estimates, as authorities appeal to the community for donations of money and furniture. Ellen O'Dwyer reports.
