Argh! Was finally looking like I would get to mow today and tomorrow, but instead a steady morning rain is re-saturating the barely drained top layers of the lawn. Paddocks are all still a quagmire as still are the low areas of my lawn. Hope it passes quickly.

Power is restored. Huge thanks and respect to the power line repair teams.

No loss of food in fridges or freezers. Having a generator was so helpful. If it weren’t for my concern about the cold and frozen storage it would have been a rather peaceful 24 hours. Time to get a second generator and a couple more jerry cans for petrol. Then it would be pretty chill.

Still blowing hard out there.

My Brain: Oh god! We’re going back into lockdown.

How does climate change affect El Niño and La Niña cycles?

In the wake of unprecedented rain resulting in flash flooding and people losing their lives and homes, today I have heard Auckland’s mayor:

- Imply people who lost their homes did so for building them in stupid places
- Describe it as “just another night of rain”
- Use a press conference to complain about people criticising his slow response to the situation

Wayne Brown is a damn train wreck. How did we end up with this joker? Surely he’s got to go.

AUCKLAND FLOODS - IMPORTANT.

Where are there emergency shelters, resources, blocked / open roads, etc in Auckland?

There's now an interactive, crowd-sourced #map and #data. Please add to it and use it. [Note: it's very basic for now! Point was speed :)]

Please spread the word!

1/ So often we group people into two categories: believers and deniers. But thanks to Ed and Tony's work we now know it's more accurate to think of people as falling into 6 groups. And my goal is to move people from Doubtful, Disengaged, or Cautious to Concerned and Alarmed.

Shout out to the emergency services on duty in Auckland tonight. You guys are doing good things.

To the promoters and decision makers of major events, must try harder.
