👋🏽 Morning everyone

🌧🟠 MetService New Zealand have issued a heavy rain warning for our neck of the woods. Here's what you need to know 👇🏽

⏰ A Heavy Rain Warning - Orange is in place tomorrow (Friday, 14 June) between the hours of 3am until 8pm.

📍 This is for the Bay of Plenty and Rotorua.

🔮 The forecast is 80 to 110mm of rain in parts of the region. Peak rates of 15 to 25mm/h are likely, but rates of 25 to 35mm/h are possible in localised downpours and thunderstorms 🌩

💧🏞️🚗 Remember heavy rain may cause streams and rivers to rise rapidly. Surface flooding and slips are also possible and driving conditions may be hazardous.

🚧 Keep off the roads if you can, drive to the conditions if you have to move around the rohe / district.

🦺🍁🍂 Our crews have been out and about clearing drains and will be on standby and ready to assist with keeping you and your whānau safe should the need arise. It's a good idea to clear your drains and gutters at home too as we prepare for this heavy rain.

🌳 If you work or live near steep cliffs or slopes (escarpments) be on the look out for any signs of movement. Get out of the area if you see anything that doesn't look right to you, and let us know about it.

ℹ️ We'll continue to keep you updated with everything you need to know right here, on our website, and if required - via our local radio stations Radio 1XX, SunFM1065, TumekeFM and ManawaFM.

The History Of 1XX

In 1969, the idea for a locally owned private radio station came about, mostly because of the efforts over the previous three years of Auckland’s Radio Hauraki pirates, on board the Tiri and Tiri II. On November 10th, 1970, a private company in Whakatane, Radio Whakatane Limited, was granted a broadcasting license. The number 1 in the station’s call-sign signifies the location, in the upper North Island, followed by the letter X, indicating private ownership. The third letter was chosen by the station. Nobody else was using a double letter. One Double X was born. The Eastern Bay of Plenty now had its very own voice. "From the Eastern Bay of Plenty, wherever you may go, the entertainment's better when you dial 1 2 4 0," was part of 1XX's very first set of station jingles.

At 10:30am on Wednesday June 30th, 1971, 1XX went to air for the very first time, on 1240AM. An official opening ceremony was held in the 1XX car park at 12:30pm. It was broadcast live, with the station ‘blasted’ on to the air by Broadcasting Minister, H.J. Walker – pushing down on a quarryman's explosion device, followed on air by an explosion sound effect and a 1XX station jingle. The Eastern Bay of Plenty now had its very own voice.
