Jeez, we must be lucky in Hamilton then, the wind picked up quite a lot but nowhere near the 160kmph mark and no damage to our house or any around our area - in fact, it was positively mild!
When I heard the weather forecast for that storm, I was sat outside in the gorgeous sunshine and it was pretty hard to believe that sort of weather was on the way but, NZ weather being as changeable as it is, it didn't surprise me in the slightest
Hope everyone out there is ok and your properties stayed undamaged!
