Video: USAR Operations Manager details 'total destruction' left behind by Cyclone Gabrielle in the Esk Valley

The amount of damage left behind by Cyclone Gabrielle in the Esk Valley is nothing like Glenn Hudson has seen before in New Zealand. Silt, trees through houses, upturned vehicles - "total destruction".

The Central USAR Operations Manager spoke to Hawke's Bay App out in the field, and explained the role his urban search and rescue team are carrying out in Esk Valley.
