2nd Tornado - Worst in NZ history


The tornado that we had a couple of days ago, apparently is the worst in damage amount in the history of New Zealand. We got hit by the tornado for the 2nd time and a town about 15 km from here was badly damaged. The civil defense declared our area a state of emergency and about 50 people were left homeless.

The picture here is actually end of the road of where we're currently staying. Come to think of it, the tornado misses our house just by a a few hundred meters.

Placemakers

Our colleague from office had his roof blown away. Luckily, a lot of people in NZ have house insurance and even after these tragedies, they still can manage to smile and come to office!

We hope the weather's gonna be fine for a while.
