Glad you are ok. We are elevated on the Onehunga side of Hillsborough so had an amazing view of the smoke and some flames. Got some pictures too. Very sad for Mitre 10 - esp at this time of the year and in this economy.]]> Tue, 09 Dec 2008 14:12:40 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=23014&PID=562458&title=thank-you-mel#562458 <![CDATA[Thank you .Mel! : wow scary Clare!Glad to hear you...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=23014&PID=562403&title=thank-you-mel#562403 Author: My3Sons

Power came back on at about 7.20pm so made mine after that.

Just meant I had more time to drink a glass of wine ]]> Tue, 09 Dec 2008 13:05:50 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=23014&PID=562385&title=thank-you-mel#562385 <![CDATA[Thank you .Mel! : No worries... just thought you...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=23014&PID=562383&title=thank-you-mel#562383 Author: .Mel

The explosions were pretty loud to begin with, but then kind of sounded a bit like fireworks going off - I guess there were so many gas bottles and cooking ovens that went up all at the same time.

Oh wow Clare.  I had no idea it was so close to you.  Glad to hear you guys are ok and that you managed to get Josh and nice dinner sorted (what did you do about your dinner though?)]]> Tue, 09 Dec 2008 12:49:54 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=23014&PID=562365&title=thank-you-mel#562365 <![CDATA[Thank you .Mel! : Gosh I saw that on Campbell, it...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=23014&PID=562357&title=thank-you-mel#562357 Author: caraMel

Gosh I saw that on Campbell, it was huge!
Glad you weren't affected too much by it Claire, must've been scary with the explosions so close!]]> Tue, 09 Dec 2008 12:40:24 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=23014&PID=562357&title=thank-you-mel#562357 <![CDATA[Thank you .Mel! : For calling last night to check...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=23014&PID=562328&title=thank-you-mel#562328 Author: Jay_R

For calling last night to check up on me with the big fire burning just across the road from my home!

We lost power for over two hours - luckily I'd just finished cooking Joshua's dinner when it went out!

And thank goodness there was an easterly wind last night which blew all the huge amounts of black smoke over the harbour instead of right into us.

Was quite amazing to watch - we had the perfect view from our balcony. But really sad for Mitre 10.]]> Tue, 09 Dec 2008 12:03:52 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=23014&PID=562328&title=thank-you-mel#562328
