And Australia has pledged a lot of aid to help the nation get back on its feet but I do wish they would supervise the distribution of the aid because all too often, it's squandered by the corrupt and those in need, never see a penny. I didn't hear much of NZ being affected so I am hoping that means it had lost a lot of its force before it arrived in Auckland? xxHotly Spicedhttp://hotlyspiced.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3078877172139600813.post-77834701032744226552015-03-18T12:06:06.932+13:002015-03-18T12:06:06.932+13:00Friko, it hit our east coast and then the Chatham ...Friko, it hit our east coast and then the Chatham Islands further south.

I do keep a stash of supplies on hand or power outages and we have places to go in our house in the basement should a tornado come. A tornado is our version of a cyclone. <br />Thinking of you, so far away, and hoping the cyclone blows itself out long before it reaches you.
