I just heard on the news there was a pretty big tornado in NZ , I think they said it was on the coast. Very scary!
I hope it wasn't near Sam or any of our other NZ friends.
I can't find a link to the story yet though.

Oh no! I hope all of our NZ friends are safe and sound! I wish they'd check in so we would know they're ok!

What? You have got to be joking! The last time I heard of a tornado was when my grandfather was 7 years old and he got caught.

Did they say on the coast of north or south island?

Kellye, any news about your brother?

Does anyone know if Sam checked in? (I don't know if she lives close to that area or not but I'll still worry)

Luckily Sam lives on the North Island and this tornado is on the south -and still no news, which I guess no news is good news.

I finally talked to my brother this evening - he saw the whole thing as he was just down the road from it!

His comments (via MSN) Yeah pretty mean stuff I was just down the road when it happened never seen such destuction in such a short time just amazing, had a good look as soon as it went away it only lasted several seconds
