Well, mother nature has let rip today. A tornado swept through West Auckland this afternoon. |

Oh how awful Susan, I am glad you got off lightly but feel so sorry for those who have been affected, what an awful Christmas many of them will have. My thoughts go especially to those who have lost loved ones, may they rest in peace, and may their families get all the support and comfort available to help them through. |

So many awful things happening in the world, seem to be more and more natural disasters, are they of our own making do you suppose? |

I was in Hunua and we had a real downpour in the afternoon (I was at a party in the hall), but I didnt hear any thunder and didnt know about the tornadoes until I got home. |

Scozz, perhaps I know your Papakura cousin as I do my shopping there. If she sees somebody with very short hair, tell her to say hi. Or is it a him? |
