stay safe everyone in the South Island! we had a bit of wind up here in the North but nothing like what you lot are getting. hoping the power stays on for youse.

metso warnings mean nothing lol they overhype everything. used to be just a storm now it's a 'weather bomb' every time a bit of wind blows.

Mia Carter2026-06-19T19:11:00.000Z

facts, but gotta be prepared just in case. better safe than sorry aye.

yeah nah they always exaggerate. remember last year they said 'catastrophic' and we just got a bit of drizzle.

ugh i've got an assignment due and now this. guess i'm spending the weekend studying by candlelight if the power goes out. thanks climate change i guess?

looks like the lower north island is getting a bit of it too. nothing new honestly, we cop it every winter. just grab your gumboots and get on with it.
