Floods and Earthquakes
We've had it all here in Napier, New Zealand. It started raining at
1.00 this morning and in an hour 55mm fell - I think about half a foot. People have been evacuated out of houses and kids are paddling their boats along some streets. The power went off nearby and the water pumps in certain areas were overloaded. I've never seen such lightning, it seemed the thunder broke right over our heads. We had an earthquake too, though fortunately not a big one. Our house is OK but I notice this morning there is a water mark on the lawn of the house across the road. More rain is expected to-day. Will keep you posted. Bev -- The email of the species is more deadly than the mail. |

If you haven't heard of it, it's a disaster film (with truly awesome effects, and I'm not a nut about effects, but these were quite impressive) about the world's weather going bonkers because the polar ice caps melted. Hail in Tokyo, tornados in Los Angeles, superfreeze in Scotland, gigantic storm systems that cover whole continents. And now I'm reading about weird weather for real. Hope everyone's OK! Joyce |

Bev had some very interesting things to say about
Floods and Earthquakes: We've had it all here in Napier, New Zealand. It started raining at 1.00 this morning and in an hour 55mm fell - I think about half a foot. People have been evacuated out of houses and kids are paddling their boats along some streets. The power went off nearby and the water pumps in certain areas were overloaded.

Our house is OK but I notice this morning there is a water mark on the lawn of the house across the road. More rain is expected to-day. Will keep you posted. Uh, WHAT did you people in NZ do to tick Someone off? ;-) Seriously, I hope things settle down for you VERY soon. -- "The universe is quite robust in design and appears to be doing just fine on its own, incompetent support staff notwithstanding. :-)" - the Dennis formerly known as (evil), MCFL |
