yeah we live on the waterfront and our house is getting hit hard. They have sent all except for skeleton staff home from my husbands work as SH1 will be closed soon. Watching the boats on their moorings is pretty freaky. Im hoping its not as bad as the last floods. High tide at our place is 3.29pm and i dont think it will be that bad. Well fingers crossed. Although our power nearly went out gulp....

our power has been off all afternoon. Just came on now. Thanks Emma  for being so concerned and calling us. Makes me feel loved. Still very windy and the water just about to come through the back door. Front windows and doors are majorly flexing with the wind. I hope they hold up. Firetruck has been down our street to check on ppl.

Yep, it sure is wooly out there! I am so glad to see Willie home in one piece, he got stranded up at Redvale and couldn't dump his load after the power went out, and said his truck was all over the road on the way back in and there was nothing he could do to control it.
Our house is shaking with some of the gusts, but it looks way worse up north.
Batten down the hatches everyone!

Hope everyone is safe and sound up their should ring parents to see if their alright keep warm too and hope the floods don't get much worse than they already are.
I kind of miss those storms as we don't get them down here (priginally from Warkworth)can't even remember the last time we had a big storm we just get crappy ice and snow(although I do quite like the snow  )
Keep safe Northlanders
