Severe Thunderstorm Watch
MetService have issued a severe thunderstorm watch for Northland and Auckland until 7pm. They warn of the risk of surface flooding and/or flash flooding
The National Emergency Management Agency advises that as storms approach you should:
- Take shelter, preferably indoors away from windows;
- Avoid sheltering under trees, if outside;
- Get back to land, if outdoors on the water;
- Move cars under cover or away from trees;
- Secure any loose objects around your property;
- Check that drains and gutters are clear;
- Be ready to slow down or stop, if driving.
During and after the storm, you should also:
- Beware of fallen trees and power lines;
- Avoid streams and drains as you may be swept away in flash flooding

Poll: Should drivers retake the theory test every 10 years?
Drivers get where they need to go, but sometimes it seems that we are all abiding by different road rules (for example, the varying ways drivers indicate around a roundabout).

Dental Magic
Once upon a time on Lincoln Road Henderson
Dentist: “Don’t worry, Mr. Smith. This will be quick and painless.”
The dentist holds a toothbrush like a magic wand.
Dentist: “Abracadabra!”
The toothbrush sparkles and glows. Suddenly, the patient’s teeth start to shine brightly.
Patient: “Wow! That was amazing! My teeth have never looked this good!”
Well at CM Dental we rely on skill and technique more than magic but we get great results!
