Cheers to that.

Had a couple of wild nights but the cyclone has moved away from my region. Walking the dog around the neighbourhood and looking at every tree branch nervously, but lucky to be high and dry (unlike many others).

That's great to hear. Gave a friend on south island a call last night to check.

Good to hear. I thought you may have been in the firing line more than me, but if the lights and the roof stayed on and your feet and ankles stayed dry, then all's well that ends well. :thumbup:

Where we are has a small catchment area and the little flooding that sometimes happens is over quickly.

I'm wondering how the street I lived in in Hastings during the Feb 1958 storm got on this time. We were flooded up to my six year old knees.
