Yes! Indeed! I am going to be on the forum watching these rain totals for as long as it keeps rising quick! Hoping no aftershocks come along in the process sitting in a dark room with my laptop! Whangarei is catching kerikeri, unbelievable!

Me too! I have WW as one of the tabs that opens on startup. Things are getting a mite out of control right now with 19 tabs open, though...

58mm and counting! That's 11.9 in the last hour, not a patch on what they're getting in Northland.

On the bright side, the mother-in-law in Mangawhai Heads will have a nice full tank after last weekend and tonight. \:D/
