When we left home yesterday morning, Wellington had beautiful blue skies and we thought it would be great to go up the Kapiti Coast to the beach. As we drove north we could see a serious storm brewing up ahead but carried on regardless, and by the time we got up to Waikanae we were getting close to the storm and the strong winds reminded us of a bad day in the Falklands!
But what fun we had in the wind on the beach!
On the way home we called into Pak N Save for a few bits and pieces (except it never is in Pak N Save, and for a supermarket that’s supposed to save you money we always end up blowing the budget on more bargains). Anyway, we heard heavy rain on the roof while we were shopping, but when we came out we found ourselves surrounded by fork lightning with thunder crashing all around us, we saw ambulances passing by, and discovered
a tornado had just passed through.
Crikey! Hoping everyone's ok. And thankful for Pak N Save!
