In New Zealand, we are having experience with the wild wet weather – Can not blame Aussie! Due to Cyclone DebbieIn Waikato, we received the huge amount of deluge rain fall everywhere for the last three-two days. In Waikato, it was the worstweather we ever received since 2008 and 2011. The photo above was takenoutside Hamilton City on my way to work this morning. The section was a part of the Waikato Express Motorway construction, and it called Ruakura Interchange.http://www.nzta.govt.nz/assets/projects/hamilton/hamilton-project-update-201702.pdfI slept through nights without hearing aids until I woke up to find puddles everywhere outside the fields from our windows. My partner and dogs did not manage to sleep through nights due to heavy noises on the roof. Sigh! I was the lucky person to sleep through all night because of my deafness and leaving my partner and dogs in despair with noisy. If I wear my hearing aids anytime and I can hear the vibration of the sounds and noise of noises through the roof. Without hearing aids, Deaf people can not listen to the sounds except to feel vibrations by feeling through their feet, body or hands. Today the sun finally came out and hopefully to dry out all the water everywhere especially for the farmers’ crops such as maizes. Recently there is a small town called Edgecumbe, and it is on the East Coast of the North Island. This town suffered severely, and it was under water due to a flood bank breached. Many local people who live in Edgecumbe survived the earthquake in 1987. The township population is 1,638 in 2013 according to the census in New Zealand but on the news, it said there were about 2,000 people living in Edgecumbe. Several roads were cut off in the rural areas eg Port Waikato including the highway road between Nelson, Kaikoura and Christchurch. Of course, we are not the only one to suffered the worst weather. In Colombia, an avalanche of mud and derbies washed down the village called Salgar. This mud slides killed around 50 people in Salgar and around the village.mm, I wonder what kind of winter in Waikato, we will be having.
