To Alec & all those directly or indirectly impacted,

 

I was surprised, then saddened by news and pictorials.

 

In the past, I have been one of the lucky ones who escaped impact from a flood though I saw much heartache through loss, salvage, then recovery.

 

In my experience, the community rallies behind those in need during times like these.

 

I believe you will see, as I did, evidence of a revitalized community spirit, proving that in times of collective need we are all capable of forgetting our differences.

 

My thoughts are with you.

 

Cris

Thanks Woody. I escaped any damage but have two staff affected One has been evacuated from his home in Tangimoana and the other has had his bach at Scotts Ferry completely under water. Fortunately no loss of human life but the farmers have lost a lot of stock. The beach at Himitangi area is covered with onions and Squash.
