Hayley?? Tornado in NZ?
 

Hayley!!!! I saw something on the news about a tornado in your country, were you affected by it?? Let us know you're alright!

Yikes, I hope she is OK!

I hope that Hayley's alright :hugs: :hugs: :hugs:

hayley chick hope you're ok :hugs: :hugs:

Tornado in NZ? I didn't realise that Torandos were common there. I haven't heard from her today but hope everything is alright. Perhaps people could also think of Northern Australia (east coast) which is experiencing a tropical cyclone.

I hadn't heard about the tornado in NZ, but I had heard about the cyclone.
I hope that everyone in those two countries, stays safe from harm.

Nature can be such a powerful force, I for one respect it, and try to avoid the dangererous side, but sometimes we find ourselves right in the middle.

Please stay safe.

Aww guys! I'm okay. :) The tornado was pretty devestating, alot of people have lost their homes, but it was in the South Island, no way near me. :) Pretty awful though, thanks for your kind thoughts. :D

Typical, something about Australia has to be mentioned, doesn't it? :laugh: ;)

Did anyone lose their lives? :( Are torandos a normal occurence in NZ?


Of course because you take out Australia and what is there in this part of the world? nothing at all...... ;) lol jk Oh and about that cyclone it was a category 5 off the coast (the strongest) but by the time it got to land it was downgraded to a 1 (the weakest obviously). seriously glad it wasen't near you or the bigger cities in NZ up on the north island.

As far as I know, miraculously no one died, if it had of gone on for any longer I think people would have been in great danger though. No, tornadoes are very rare here, I mean we get alot of wind storms, but not to the extent where there is alot of damage done.

Psshh, take out New Zealand and what would there be? .... Ummm ...... Hmm ..... NO SHEEP! ;)

Wow really. That's amazing, lucky it wasn't 5 when it reached the land! :eek:

I'm glad too. Because I probably wouldn't have had a house! :( Yeah pretty scary stuff though.

Hi Hayley :D Its good to see you girl, glad your ok :hugs:

Glad you're OK, Hayley!

Thanks, girls. :) How did you hear about it, all the way over in USA? Was it on the news?

Was it anywhere the larger cities on the south island say Christchurch?


Well for starters there would be one less country for Australia to humilate in cricket! ;) Hey citizens of the u.s of a can you start playing cricket (for real) so we can get get some decent competition? when the pommies (the english) are the second best its a sad state of affairs! :laugh:


For sure! :eek: It would have done a lot of damage if it didn't weaken.....


Poor people losing their homes and all the material things they own..... :(

If you look here: http://sites.onlinemac.com/kincom/Ne...and%20Map.JPEG See where Christchurch is, well look diagonally accross from that and you will see Greymouth, that's where the Tornado was. I'm not sure exactly how far away that is from Christchurch, but there wouldn't have been damage there.

LOL. I'm afraid to say that I don't have a good enough comeback for that one. :D You win, damn it! LOL.

Muahaha, the wars on, lol.

Yeah I rekon, that would have been devestation everywhere.

Yeah it's very upsetting when you see that happening from a natural disaster, these people couldn't recover any of their belongings. But the response from the rest of NZ has been great, the community have raised alot of money for the people that have lost their homes, which is cool :)

Oh there is a third little island right down at the bottom! Must be bloody freezing down there in the winter!


*evil laugh* I will win again! :laugh: We're so good we left out the fastest bowler in the world out of our team! hehehehe


yep come on yanks its just like baseball except our world series actually has teams from outside the u.s playing in it! :p


True although luckily it was heading towards a fairy small town up right near the top east corner of the continent.


True if some lunatic blows some people away its obvious who is to blame. When its a natural disaster or "act of God" who is there to blame?
