So, how bout that weather?

@paekakboyz Pretty safe bet but it might be even further South.
Ex tropical cyclones are hitting a long way further south. It used to be a top of the North thing and more east.
Was talking to a well known marine biologist the other night and he was saying that Ta$man sea temps are way up, which would explain my comment above.

@snowy yeah I know in the 2000's and early 2010's Northland would get hit almost every year, but Northland has been left largely unscathed the past few year (obviously pockets that have still suffered) while other parts of NZ are now getting smashed (touches wood...superstitious or not
)I went fishing in the harbor a fortnight ago (east coast) and water was 24.5 deg C, which is a little warmer than normal, but its the fact it's been these temps since late November that is the big thing.

Motueka river valley - this is usually these people's driveway!

We got 200mm in 12 hours griday night. Certainly tested the new stormwater system. It failed in a couple of places.
Spent yesterday digging. Digging is shit.

Busy night here, fence blown over on one side. Gate on the other where the family rabbit is kept, so that resulted in a very dangerous rescue mission.
No power either at home or work ( where I currently am)
Going to be a great day. -

Going to be a great day.in Auckland, a neighbour's tree snapped in half. Luckily missed the fence and anything else on the way down, but there was some wind last night.
Edit: Also 12 degrees colder this morning than yesterday

We get some good storms every winter but I have to say that was a doozy.
I had broken branches peppering my windows for about 2 hours but hopefully no damage other than a clear up. Couldn't tell in dark.
Its recycling bin collection today so the streets were littered (groan) with upturned wheelie bins and their contents.
-
It was a beauty alright, far out. I'm in an apartment complex (city living!) so wasn't affected, but have friends who have lost the roof of their house etc. Pretty serious stuff.
Also got woken up at 2.30AM by some absolute nutter letting off fireworks outside our building in the middle of the storm - seriously WTF is wrong with some people?

one of my deck chairs was blown over, and a tree that had been loosened by other storms and I had staked with a steel post blew over....

Hopefully your insurance company will put their best men in this, spare no expense in restoring you life back to some kind of normality.
