Iconic...

A photo, not mine but from the "press'. The recent floods and devastation of Cyclone Gabrielle in New Zealand. We have have Covid, our son and daughter have Covid, its tough but not as tough as 1000's of people have to experience!

is this a real couch!
I'm quite heart broken for all those people and families who have had a traumatic time with the cyclone - in Muriwai.. Gisborne and Hawkes bay area - just terrifying and awful.

Awful event but this photo certainly captures that. I have two adult children living in Auckland and thankfully they are ok.

How sad to see this proof of the devastation. One can only imagine how difficult it must be, and wonder how to get going again after something like this.

I have been missing you. Glad to hear you are well enough to post and hoping this means you were on the road to recovery.

sorry to hear you not well, hope you all have a quick recovery. The picture tells the story! Quite distressing, Have been on tenterhooks as my sisters family and extended family live in Auckland, all (thankfully) are good, but know others that have been affected. so sad.

[Pat Knowles]

Good way of thinking Maggie, things could be worse! Glad you are fairly OK & it will pass. Stay warm & rest up. Amazing capture….so much destruction up north.

[Bill]

It’s an excellent picture, and under other circumstances would be amusing, but what it symbolises is really tragic. I do hope your family has a quick recovery.
