NZ's North Island hit hard with a major storm yesterday... "the worst in a 100 years", he said at 2AM last night.. the river near the back of his property was 6 feet from his home *sniff* he must be without power or internet or i'm sure i would've heard from him by now hopefully, he'll be ok & his house, over 100 yrs old, won't be flooded "The areas most at risk of further flooding were Foxton Beach and parts of Foxton township near the Manawatu River" *group mind meld*
