Does look pretty bad up there.
Our heavy rain in Auckland has yet to really arrive but will be here early this evening by the looks.
Coromandel is getting smash. Never seen Matarangi looking so wet. Heaps of wind and a decent storm surge too, so more beachfront erosion damage
-
@Machpants think that evac order was along with high tide, rain hasnt been heavy today, just steady, we've had c 200mm in 36 hours.
Winds died back most of today but I heard she is picking up, up north as the back end of Gabrielle swings by,
To make matters worse, power is off again, this time due to some fluffybunny speeding along a nearby road, hitting water and aquaplaning into a powerpole....so many outages around the place.
-
This all my fault. Work started full on on my relocated 1920s house two weeks ago. Look what the weather has done since.
As of this morning I have a relocated pile of rubble.
At least I didn't see it happen as we were in the dark. No power for 24 hours now.

Rains has got a heap heavier here in Takapuna (North Shore). Just cleared all the drains in the street, as heaps of debri, so hopefully the water drains away.
Powers out two streets away but still on here for now.
Power is also out at the bach which is getting pummelled but gee the surf looks good
-
Really getting panelled…f**k…that surf looks angry… Strongs people 💪🏼
-
Gabrielle has forced me to drink on a Monday, a Monday! I never drink on a Monday.
-
Finally made it home, road to coast opened and the cherry on top was the power being restored. Showered, proper coffee, and yes I feel I deserve a beer @taniwharugby . And @Snowy man that sucks, were you getting rid of the house or buying it in?
-
@Machpants pretty sure the house he is alluding to is a relocatable that got split in peices for transport and was on site and now in more peices...
Yeah we'd have power too if not for a fuckstick that couldn't drive, makes me mad AF

I heard that one on Comms, so fucking annoying people doing dumb shit when everyone is stretched like this
-
@Machpants yeah my bro is a linesman for northpower, unsure what hours he worked last night but he is on a 12 hr stint again tonight...alot is just sticking plaster stuff until weather calms down.
