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

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

It's awful, isn't it?! I woke up at 5am to howling winds, yet yesterday was SO beautiful here! I managed to get out for a really enjoyable walk in the sunshine and actually broke a sweat. Haha!

Pretty awful here too (Hastings) - has been pouring since I woke up this morning - obviously started sometime during the night and there is quite a bit of surface water on road sides etc. And windy! I'm working from home with a blanket and the heater on!

It is bad here in Waiouru. Shannon and Levin have it really bad. You can't get in or out of Shannon (why you would want to get in is beside me thou ). And Tokomaru just north of Shannon is also really bad. A woman I know there her garage door has blown inwards.

It's weird....poured here this morning, then it stopped and at the moment the sun is out, there's patches of blue sky and the wind is just normal really. But you look out over the sea and it's BLACK. It's really strange!!

It's yucky here. I'm sure I heard a tree fall down this morning - not on our property but maybe one of the neighbours. I'm not even bothering going out today. Daniel isn't impressed at not being allowed outside.
