Cyclone Pam Update

Good morning from a very wet and soggy Hastings.

An update on the cyclone that is currently hitting New Zealand.

We have had a very wet night but not much in the way of wind.  That is expected to hit us this morning.  Gisborne has literally closed down all schools, the port, airport and told everyone to stay home.  We haven’t had that warning and my son has left for his college. The sun is up but it is very dark. I was supposed to go horse riding today but that has been postponed for a week.  That is a relief not to have to go out in this rain.

So the worse is yet to come.

Thanks to everyone who wished me well.  I do appreciate you all.
