Well youve all seen the pictures, what a night. Took 7hrs to get home which usually takes 40min. Car didnt like it and Ive done damage to the engine, but that was pretty minor compared to the damage I saw. On the slow trip home I saw flooded houses floating cars, a full sized bus washed off the road. Met a lot of people at the many stops waiting for the waters to recede low enough to be passable. Spirits were good and everyone helped each other in true kiwi style.
