   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.

   was quite grotty here in Hawkes Bay last night and over night, lots of howling wind and rain and a fresh dumping of snow on the hills so it is cold this morning, hopefully that was the worst of it!
