Cracking open the emergency food supplies because the muesli bars in there are a nicer flavour than the ones I currently have open in the cupboard.

Morning all. How's the weather in your neck of the woods Kiwis? Anyone in Kirikiriroa? What's it like there? #CycloneVaianu #Aotearoa #NewZealand #Kirikiriroa #Hamilton
Live weather: Cyclone Vaianu brings damaging winds, heavy rain to North Island

Gusts up to 130km/h have already been recorded, fire crews called out, and "significant" effects felt overnight as the storm begins to cross the North Island.

The power is back on, I survived #CycloneVaianu, and my football team won against top-of-the-table opposition - climbing out of the relegation zone. Happy Days.
Might have a celebratory beer.

We're down to 978hpa and holding. It's gone very quiet.
I wonder if this is the eye. It's very still all of a sudden.
#CycloneVaianu #978hpa

This morning the horizontal rain was coming in from the East.

Now at midday the rain is mostly vertical but a little from the West.

I staked some more trees night ahead of #CycloneVaianu . Four of the hedge trees have flopped over. I staked a few back up again, this being one of the lucky ones.

As the cyclone moves past the wind direction is going to change so now I’m wondering if I should have staked them down or put all the stakes on the other side of them.

Heh. Powerco Outages Page won't load.
