its bad here, I willpost some photos later on. WE have been lucky so far, only our yard flooded, but if it kicks in again today we wilol not be so lucky I dom't think. The houses over the road are flooded and under water and the street opposite my driveway is at least knee deep the whole way doen, I took some pics, the cars still unlucky enought to be on the road have water over their bumpers, over door level, it is quite high and bloody scary.

Its a state of emergency here now. Houses in my road have been evacuated and the kindy at the end of the street oppiste me (about 15 houses away) is sandbagged and houses around it are evacuated. It is scary. Hubby bought home batteries and I got the candles and matches down, and am crossing my fingers it all calms down very very soon. The wind is scary and the rain is relentless. The river through town has spilt its banks and is on the road. ]]> Wed, 30 Jul 2008 21:33:46 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=19616&PID=454407&title=wow-the-weather#454407 <![CDATA[wow the weather : Yes please.

Hey Kaz, it's pretty dark here and it's raining the wind doesn't seem all that bad.

Is your garage one with an electric door opener? I'd put the car outside, just incase the power goes off later on in the day!! Otherwise you won't be able to get your car out ]]> Wed, 30 Jul 2008 08:06:00 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=19616&PID=453379&title=wow-the-weather#453379 <![CDATA[wow the weather : here is nasty, have just had to...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=19616&PID=453373&title=wow-the-weather#453373 Author: Kazzle

here is nasty, have just had to rescue our recycling from the back yard, as the winds so strong it blew the container and all the stuff right down our driveways.

i have to take Rhiannon out in this, this afternoon as she has to see the doctor, at least the car is in the garage so wont get blown away getting in and out of the car on this end, until we get to the doctors.

Im sitting here looking out my window over the harbour to titahibay and i can see the wind rolling over the water, looks impressive...can also see 5 boats in teh middle of it...silly people hope their boats will be okay]]> Wed, 30 Jul 2008 07:59:45 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=19616&PID=453373&title=wow-the-weather#453373
