Washed away
Storms in Wellington.

Really, really, big storms.

By our standards, anyway. I feel churlish complaining compared to what's been happening in Florida and China.

But it's been unpleasant enough. Weather updates are comparing it to the Wahine storm.

My flat escaped unscathed, other than a rubbish bin blown over and lots of branches blown off trees. I spent the night wondering if my bedroom windows were going to blow out, though. And the walk to work was miserable - I had gale force winds and rain blowing in my face the whole way. Only just starting to warm up now.

Central Wellington is half-deserted, and the city is cut off by pretty much everything - air, rail and road. Fun times. I don't want to leave the building. It's col out there....
