    She doesn't realize how brave and strong she is. Very tough woman. Not a hint of hesitation in those words. She was clear and direct. Hats off to you Margaret! So sorry for the loss of items but so happy you both survived and escaped unscathed. Definitely have someone watching over you guys.

    What an amazing lady!! I am from Hawke’s bay, my husband and I were raised in Napier and just been heart breaking seeing the damage and hearing the stories from survivors. We had never ever seen anything like it in our 45 years of existence!! We were seeing videos posted on Napier news, of bridges being washed out and water up to roofs and we couldn’t believe what was happening!! We have been non stop warring about how everyone will be coping at this difficult time, loosing loved ones and their homes as well as their towns. We hope god gives you all strength to get through this. 😢❤
