Not so bad out here in the Hutt Valley. It was worse on Saturday out here. Fair amount of street flooding and I think a few places in Stokes Valley were evacuated, but nothing as bad as what hit Wellington last night/today.

It's been wet and windy overnight and with the centre of Cyclone Vaianu still to the north of us we are in for a windy Sunday. Here's a look at the radar this morning.

🧵Spotted at a Country Easter Fair in Aotearoa New Zealand:

A small human (3?) is full of all the woe. Lip quivering.
Mum says: "What's wrong?"
Small Human wails: "There's TOO MANY THINGS and I am having VERY BIG FEELINGS!"
Mum picks her up for a hug. "One bite at a time. That's how we do it." (1)
