Napier flood

[R2x1]

I've lost track of the times I've said this week "one good earthquake and that is us".

'specially being at the bottom of a very big hill.

. . . Even more so for those former summit dwellers currently "at the bottom of a very big hill." Puts a whole new slant on "living at the bottom of our garden."

We were extremely fortunate, our biggest problem was having to get up every 20 or 30 minutes to use the shopvac to dry the laundyt floor from the odd few litres of rain that drove around our back door. Had stand-by power, but didn't need it
Murphy found other targets.
