Canterbury storm

[SMOKEU]

What ??? No high Viz ???

It slipped my mind. Lucky no one died.

I sure was! But it's not a motor vehicle, and I was wearing a life jacket in accordance to Maritime NZ legislation, so there's fuck all anyone can do.

I'll bet you waved though.

(Motion thru water ... made a wave ... ohh forget it!)

Was that the Beckenham loop or somewhere else in the clips, hard to tell, whatever floats your boat has taken a new meaning. The river areas have been asking for the river level to be dropped for decades. Avon and the Heathcote

Worst we got was a flooded room and a 10m tree blown over at the low point of our property on the hill in Huntsbury and landed on the neighbours roof below us, it's a steep decline. AMI tells me it's an act of god and they won't cover it, not interested and it's the neighbours problem and their insurance will sort it out.

So, talked to the neighbour and told him the bad news, guess what, they're not insured at all ( ? ) and the big tree still sitting on their roof.

Shit happens.

One of the videos was at Radley Park, as you can see the flood gates.

The other one was somewhere in Opawa. It sucks the insurance won't cover the damages.

As before, act of god means it's the neighbours problem now.

Still don't think that's fair somehow. Neither is the fact that 3 years on we're facing winter # 3 and still waiting for any decision on fixing/ rebuilding our house. Broken record I know.

Just checked the big tree on the neighbours roof, looks like it's gonna be there for the night, haven't heard from him.

Might take a pic tomorrow and flick it through.

Doesn't surprise me they're not insured. we used to live on huntsbury - moved years before the quakes but still have friends there. Post quake the lower slopes were pretty bad - some of it still is. At least one of our ex neighbours hasn't been able to get insurance...

...this is the third time in three years that we have had this shit...100 years my arse...cant do fuck all about the weather, and there is not going to be insurance for a lot of this damage either...the lake should have been opened earlier, but it seems real clever cunts behind a desk somewhere dry, dont think the locals here know what we are talking about...arseholes...my son got a vid of the water as it was rising, it got higher than this a little while later...

Amazing how God doesn't exist as far as the PC mob go, but when God can be responsible for avoiding a payout, the buggar is alive and well.

As for the '1 in a 100 year' disaster? , another cop out.
