Tropical Cyclone Gabrielle impacting New Zealand

Will do, thank you and will let you know here if their flight leaves tomorrow. Good news is their sit doesn’t start until Saturday so a bit of wriggle room, fortunately

Thanks @Smiley for the update. I’ve been wondering how @Colin is getting on. Being from Queensland we get a bit blase about cyclones and the resulting weather as we go through this kind of thing frequently this time of year. We are still dealing with the impact of storms and resulting flooding in Brisbane from Feb 2022. It’s often a long road to recovery…

Poor NZ though, this is uncommon weather for them. Apparently their worst weather event in 100 years. Sadly 4 people have lost their lives.

Oh that is good news @Smiley. Fingers crossed for @Colin and Karyo that the flights take off and they have a safe trip over to Melbourne. Did you feel the earthquake temors?
