Tornado - everyone OK?

Just checking in with our friends on the North Shore. Everyone accounted for and OK?

Derek posted on FB, he’s okay. Also, a terrifying photo of the tornado he took from his office at work.

Has anyone heard from MissC? She works at the Borders at Albany Mall, I think.

Yep I’m fine :slight_smile: , mall was evac’d, tornado set off fire alarm

Hope you all is fine!

Here is a link to a video. Man that’s some scary stuff. I cant get over how easily all the wood and debris just hangs in the air.

Just before anyone asks I have talked to Sirocco and Zephyr. They arent responsible :wink:

Wait, what? A tornado? O.o When?

Around 3pm. Started in Albany then went to Pt. Chev and fizzled out…

These are areas of Auckland, Kamica.

Thanks for mentioning =D. So Auckland has possible tornadoes, has a dormant volcano (for now) chance of earthquakes, lies next to seas/oceans, and therefor chance of tsunamis… can anyone remind me why a city was build there? =S

It’s got a good harbour and the land in that area is incredibly fertile (all that volcanic ash and all.) 'Course, now all the market gardens have been covered with urban sprawl, but it was a good idea at the time.

Glad to hear people are okay, scary stuff.

I took this photo out my office window:

I got video as well, but not very good video. I was torn between watching it go by and running back to my desk for my iphone. :unamused:

It ripped the roof off the other end of the building I work in.

Far out!!! Glad you’re OK.

Awesome photo!

That is an impressive picture!

We’re both ok (me and Zane M).

Prema and the other Zane, are you ok? I think you both live over this side of the bridge.

Thanks for the history lesson =D.
