So, how bout that weather?
-
How is everyone faring?
Bit of a wild night up here (strong gusts of wind) but for the most part, looks like we haven't been hit as bad as Auckland and other parts where it is smashing right now.
Didn't even get enough rain to fill my tanks!

Pretty rough here, we have been without power since early this morning. Unlikely to be back on till later this afternoon (hopefully)
Stuck inside the house with the kids who are constantly fighting... going great! -
A couple of storage boxes got flipped on my courtyard, but otherwise nothing major (Auckland central). Feel for those without power etc, especially with kids! Good luck @Virgil...
-
Not too bad here in matarangi. Massive wind and rain overnight but dry today and about 50 knots on shore breeze right now. Massive tide this morning and a couple hours without power
Left pauanui yesterday and they seem to have it worse than us.

Ffs can’t work out how to rotate pic so just tip your pc on its side
-
Just branches down this time thankfully.
-
@virgil yeah the kids and no power not a fun combo!
-
We had a few drops of rain. It was terrifying.

Sounds perfect for cooking something yummy and slowly on the BBQ!

Better empty the beer fridge. Don't want the contents going off.... 🍻

Praise Jesus it’s back on!!

And you better get down to the bottly for some extra cold ones as the more cold ones you have in there the less time it takes to cool down.
This all makes smart sense

ah yes, the Cyclone recovery special. Lots of ice in the Tropical Ice Box (won't melt for days) to keep the beers cold. And a heap of meat on the BBQ. What power?
Meanwhile, in the Tropics, we're crying out for rain after the driest and hottest December ever. Go you halves?

And a round trip via the nearest KFC outside the power cut area for a bucket of wicked wings or original recipe to balance out the beersies!

Sounding like a fucking holiday now, not a "Summer Storm"
What's Virgil bitchin about?

@mariner4life I think many places in NZ are the same with hottest driest periods...so the rain will be a welcome relief to many, but not the wind and tidal surges.
-
haha
Waves are lapping at waterside properties on one side of the Firth of Thames and, on the other, people in a low-lying area are being told to "urgently self-evacuate".

No, the farm is looking better than it has for a long time!

Nah didn’t as too busy fishing and surfing with kids. Mate played it the other day and say not in too bad a nick but not worth $69. Will play the dunes up here once the wind drops
-
@antipodean my water bill is going to be out of control trying to get my new lawn to take, and stay alive.
-
@mariner4life connect hose to neighbour's supply while they're on holiday.
-
@mariner4life just use the pool water!
-
@taniwharugby i fucking need that! It's spastically hot

Beersies don’t do shit with kids! -

We had no wifi or internet either other than the data from our phones,
Spark topped us up free of charge but trouble is how fast the battery drains on your phone when your using 4G. -

Bit of rain around SEQ over the last week (55mm NYE and pleasant evening storms 4 nights in a row). Thought some of it reached north ... obviously not as far as you?
Careful what you wish for though Mariner. These Qld droughts have a habit of ending somewhat spectacularly (ExTC Oswald being one example ... )

I just heard a bit of thunder. There's flooding in parts of the Hutt. Perfect excuse not to leave the house and avoid human contact as much as possible.

Ah, the biannual one in one hundred year Lower Hutt flood. Do you really need an excuse not to leave the house and avoid the denizens of lower hutt?

@mn5 am sure the resident Huttinians will appreciate your avoidance too...

So just catching up with all the threads I missed while on holiday.
Must admit it was surreal lying in bed in Singapore watching the Northern Motorway under flood .. for a nano-second I actually considered what a shit day all my staff would be having - before heading off to the pool.
Serious flooding here in Albany this morning. Metre deep on the road outside - three hours later you can't even tell it has rained.
