Hey guys
Just a little heads up incase you haven't seen the news or anything, but there is a huge storm approaching (the size of australia!) so just thought i would share this link. Might be a good idea to have some candles or what not in case the power goes out. http://tvnz.co.nz/national-news/swell-warning-storm-approaches-3780768 - storm linky and another http://nz.news.yahoo.com/a/-/top-stories/7955340/fierce-weather-on-the-way/ - storm warning so i hope you all keep safe, and nice and warm and dry!  ------------- http://lilypie.com" rel="nofollow">

| Hopefully it shouldn't be to bad. usually the larger the depression is, the less severe it is. In this case it is really spread out. |

Lots of rain is nice to listen to but lots of wind sucks! -------------

It's been sunny here but the wind has been blowing a gale all morning where I am in West Auckland, it's now just started raining and the grey clouds have set in. I love it though, just feel bad for anyone that has to be in it! ------------- http://lilypie.com">

Its pretty bad here. At about 6pm it just suddenly went nuts and the wind was insane, then it hailed and we had forked lightening, it was very scary!
Then after 10 mins it was calmer again. Its been really windy and raining ever since then though, and Im guessing it will flair up again during the night. Im going to bring DS into our bed tonight! DD is in our room already. ------------- |

I looked at the rain forecast and it says its going to lighten up before 3am, although DP may be earlier then that who knows. MIght suggest he doesn't drive along the waterfront home from work.
Its very windy out there, I think it sounds worse then it is I ran out to the car earlier and aside from my toes being cold as I had no shoes and socks on hehe it didn't feel that bad. (But then I am sitting here in a singlet lol) SIL is driving to Maraetai and is freaking out abit I think! Infact she should be home by now wonder if she's text mum yet or not. ------------- http://www.myfitnesspal.com/weight-loss-ticker">
