We lost a couple of pot plants, DH was out last night night trying to move them all into the garage! Poor thing!! Our back fence is a little worse for wear, think it may have taken a battering, its got an interesting lean on it now, and dont think it will take much of a gust for it to blow over. (No hope of getting the landlord to fix it this century - we have been here over a year and are still waiting for our fireplace to be fixed!!) Lost the odd branch, but generally not too bad here. I was laying in bed wondering what we would do if the roof flew off?!?!]]> Wed, 11 Jul 2007 12:01:20 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=8990&PID=177023&title=its-been-a-fair-while#177023 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=8990&PID=176990&title=its-been-a-fair-while#176990 Author: Bizzy

Our back lawn and driveway is a mess, the one problem about having a reserve behind us and lots of trees. Doesn't look like any have fallen over luckily.]]> Wed, 11 Jul 2007 10:23:28 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=8990&PID=176939&title=its-been-a-fair-while#176939 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=8990&PID=176922&title=its-been-a-fair-while#176922 Author: sally belly

Goodness me, the streets are a bit of a mess this morning. Lots of huge Pohutukawa branches have snapped off and there is debris all over the road.

I too had major trouble walking yesterday afternoon. I reckon it was worse than anything I ever experienced when I lived in Wgtn a few years ago.]]> Wed, 11 Jul 2007 10:06:10 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=8990&PID=176922&title=its-been-a-fair-while#176922 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=8990&PID=176800&title=its-been-a-fair-while#176800 Author: busymum

I saw that about the motorcyclists, but I mean, seriously, who would even TRY to ride a bike across the bridge in winds like this? Willie's 46 foot truck and trailer unit was struggling to stay on the road, so a bike has no chance.

we went down to countdown tonight and the doors broke with the wind while we were in there....blew so hard one blew off its hinges and poor security guard had to try and fix it while holding it back = and they were BIG suckers.

The intersection at botany had lights flying around like i havent seen since snow was coming in usa...

and the car was being blown around while we sat at the lights - and mums is a heavy stationwagon!!! it was fair rocking!!!

Have shut all the upstairs windows as they keep blowing out...and hopefully we wont be blown away like dorothy in middle of the night!!!]]> Tue, 10 Jul 2007 21:21:39 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=8990&PID=176786&title=its-been-a-fair-while#176786 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=8990&PID=176770&title=its-been-a-fair-while#176770 Author: baalamb

I'm at work at the moment and we take calls for a window repair company and had this lady call us from somewhere in Auckland with a broken window needing urgent attention and I could HEAR the wind in the background!! I was scared for her!!! It sounded so freaky!

Yep, sure is windy. I get a bit freaked as well when a big gust comes through and makes the chimney rattle, as I can visulise the roof flying off the house!]]> Tue, 10 Jul 2007 21:09:01 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=8990&PID=176768&title=its-been-a-fair-while#176768 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=8990&PID=176756&title=its-been-a-fair-while#176756 Author: Kels

It is NOT nice out there....I'm even starting to get a little (just a litte) bit freaked out. Think I've watched Twister one too many times.

Two motorcyclists were blown off thier bikes on the harbour bridge! ]]> Tue, 10 Jul 2007 19:45:00 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=8990&PID=176718&title=its-been-a-fair-while#176718 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=8990&PID=176705&title=its-been-a-fair-while#176705 Author: ginger

Since I was in any danger of blowing away in a stiff breeze but I've just walked the dogs down to the park, and it happened several times! Lucky DH was firmly anchored to the ground - I had something to grab onto!!
