From the West Indies who have played cricket with the Kiwis over decades we extend our sympathy In this time of tragedy and loss that the people of New Zealand have been experiencing through these storms. Wish we could help. Be strong. God bless you all.
Thank you so much
@@christenefowler9925 You are welcome. Stay safe.
I’ve been watching interviews of New Zealanders affected by the cyclone. They told what had happened to them and their property in such a calm way. A lady named Margaret, who can only doggy paddle, swam to get help to save her husband Richard. What brave courageous people ❤
Thank you to all who spoke ..You walked out 0nly with what you wear ..we see you ....yu roepresent us .. kia a pai aku ora ...you are loved
My heart goes out to all of you people the most important thing is that you are alright God bless you all.
This is harrowing. Sorry to all that are going through this. So proud to be a kiwi seeing how well people are working together though in these tough times. Sending prayers and blankets/clothes on one of the Auckland trucks. ❤
The personal stories I'm hearing and seeing sound absolutely harrowing. I grew up in Auckland and am now residing in the UK . I'm thinking of you all who have been affected by this. Please look after yourselves and each other and try and stay safe. Sending out positive thoughts, and better time's to come. ❤
So so sorry and love from us 🙏🇬🇧
Absolutely heartbreaking! God bless all of you!
So sorry for the families who facing this horrible cyclone.
Take care. Keep safe 🙏
So heartbreaking
I was told Napier won’t have electric restored for 2weeks due to bridges broken ,my son is there people were panic buying in the store
Prayers sent to our fellow nzers it's going to be life destroying I hope our government helps all these people Kia kaha
Well done everyone you came across great
Let us all learn from this storm..We have to be able to take care of ourselves for up to a week..Extra water,food,the ability to light the night,a temporary shelter..
I so feel for these poor people..
So true it is like this video collection from Hastings right Hawkes Bay where the cyclone Gabrielle passed by. The ranch farm communities they super flat terrains and some rolling hills easy hills.
Most of them haven't got the seasonal workers programs back running efficiently like before 2020. They just open the last New Zealand to do with World Pandemic lockdowns they just the owners and some of their kids living there in the ranch farms. They nearly died and lost everything floodings so fast. No videos from them few hours before landfall to about some hours.
Now videos just showing they back to their ranch farms again and no flood waters seen as receded Thursday video. The granpa was calling calling and they did not answer the phone calls because it was flooded with calls.
Next time they should prepare well. The transhumance farming practice of moving livestock change of seasons in 4 seasons countries should be used when preparing for cyclones like that Gabrielle.
As cyclone few days or few hours to make landfall. All flat terrain livestock poultry farms do the transhumance swiftly to the rolling easy topography where there should be a barn just for that cyclone flooding transhumance
Yeah meself studied Geography New Zealand Relief Climate SOULS Vegetation and LANDUSE AGRICULTURE since 1993.
.Transhumance is a word that most great ranch farms practice change of season it is good to be done during the storms cyclone seasons as well. As you guys going to save your livestock poultry as you all carnivores omnivores.
Yours is the largest as well as Australia in Oceania South Pacific regions. You know Transhumance swiftly. You be okay 👌
The situation must be shocking. Where would government put these people when the clean up begins😢
good question ...North Island has housing shortage already ...40,000 homeless in statistics a few years back
Whether your from samoa , Ireland you can be saved God bless 😍

God bless
Good on emergency for hanging up your call quickly. The real risk is human lives.
I doubt 111 hung up. Service in the Bay was minimal & they probably lost connection
Kiwi's work together !
the farmer who said that the rescue service hung up on him ....there are thousands of people out there still unaccounted for ....gosh he makes me sick
Sounded like he rang for help with the horses. Animals are not a priority in this situation.
Jesus is the way the truth and the life Glory be to God you are still alive and have been given another chance to come back to our lord and saviour Jesus Christ
its all sad were can i send money to them
Stuff have a Givealittle page
Woooow
Just when you thought it was bad losing your house and livestock, they take you to fecking Hastings!
amazingly stupid of that man not to have moved his horses and sheep to higher ground BEFORE, especially given all the warnings that were recieved.
Wonderfull hindsight. It came up so astonishingly quick and high. We are only used to Cyclone sideswipes not full on ones. Have some compassion.
@@juliaforsyth8332 i have enormous compassion, that is why i go without normal food in order to provide for rescue animals (on super, big rent....) guess i felt more for the animals....who totally rely on us. And we were given VERY out of the ordinary warnings that, when one has livestock, there was plenty of time to act on.sorry if i offended or hurt anyone, but the truth often does hurt.....
I don't mean to criticize but why didn't they get their animals to high ground earlier? Did they not get the weather forecast showing a giant cyclone was coming?
For a whole week there were warnings only for Northland and Auckland then overnight they changed the warnings to further south
From what I understand, the water rose really fast. Faster and higher than anyone thought. Also, you are judging, so take your hindsight glasses off and donate to their rescue effort.
@@Wiggyman99 Oh. That makes sense. Because so many seem caught off guard. This is all so sad.
Unfortunately we assess risk based on past experiences..They haven't known this extreme experience before..
@@TheAccidentalViking
There was a 15 day prior forecast for the cyclone. The modelling was accurate.
