Well the battery back up dosnt work on my alarm, and my watch isnt loud enough to wake me.
so if it goes off here all of east Auckland is going to get thier bread late.

and im one hell of a lot more isolated than you are powerwise.
infact im amazed it hasnt gone off already, or that there hasnt been another smash on the main road.

The weather today is Auckland is terrible.

Who had to drive over the harbour bridge today? The windgusts are so strong, you've got to fight to keep your car on the road. Then the whole northern motorway was almost solid water, ever couple of metres my car started aqua-planeing.

I've seen plently of firetrucks out tonight, and trees blown onto roads. There were even windows getting blown out of buildings in the city. Shesh the one day I actually had to go into the city!

Yeah well I normally only have to drive on the shore, but I was applying for a career for next year.

I didn't see any accidents which suprised me, as I had one Legacy past me and he was going atleast 120 or so, everyone else was cruising along at about 85.

Going over the bridge most people were going about 50ish, and that was at 4pm just before rushour. This weather is pretty horrible, my house is up on a hill on the East Coast Bays, and has taken quite a battering. I just found out some of the deck furniture is broken, and the barbeque cover is kind of missing.

and my computer is all wet now!

So bloody wet last night I stayed at work!
Had to put rags under the roller door to the work shop to stop the wind blowing water under it. Still got lots done on the car.

Mrs Panda drove over the bridge to stay as well.
She came over around 4pm & said it was pretty slow & that the water was being blowen over the rocks onto the motorway.

Hey! Watch out for the yellow snow Mr T.

The Panda hates the yellow snow!!!

Maybe my car is just really aerodynamic but I found driving over the bridge no problem.

Though going up the motorway home at about 90kmh it did feel as though it was aqua-planing.
