    Yeah I totally didn’t see this weather coming - which is why I did some exterior painting this morning 🤦‍♂️

      Haha hope all is well. I mowed the lawn and decided to let the bottom of the mower dry a bit before storing. Then the hail came and I suddenly realised it was still outside… It’s definitely not dry.

        Yeah two hours should be enough…

        Luckily it’s not much and not cosmetic so no harm done

    I also heard a rumour about a tornado in Lower Hutt but haven’t seen it mentioned in any proper sources.

    Edit: Looks like article is updated and now mentions the tornado

      Yeah it’s been dramatic in Lower Hutt. I was working in Welly when it rolled through but my partner was disgruntledly enduring a planned power outage in the Hutt and he says he’s never heard anything like that.

    I was working in Porirua, we got a lightning storm and hail, followed shortly by heavy rain. It was clear an hour later though.
