Just a 'heads-up' folks.

Our roads are not the best at any time in Christchurch lately, but this morning on a trip between Northwood and Addington I noticed a lot of new (and very deep) pot holes. Keep and eye out and look well ahead. Some of them will do serious damage to your car I would think.

- Almost 50% of us are eating fast food a minimum of once a month!
- Did you know that 1 in 10 of us are getting less than 5 hours sleep each night?
- The most common kiwi stress relief is to exercise! Coming in at a close second was .. of course .. FOOD!
Want to see what else we found out? Like how frequently we are washing our hands...?!

Response teams have headed out to Opawa and Southshore to check on residents and let them know that a welfare centre has opened at Linwood College if they need somewhere to go tonight.

Information in from NIWA shows this afternoon's tide was the highest ever recorded at Bridge St. At this stage, we believe the record-breaking level was due to a low pressure weather system coming on top of a spring tide, and heavy rainfall. Although the spring tide and rainfall were expected, the unusually low pressure wasn't forecast. This accounted for 0.4M of the tidal height. Preliminary assessment is that this extreme tide level may be equivalent to a 1/200 year event (a probability of occurring once in every 200 years).
We are keeping a close eye on the high tide due around 3am tomorrow. At this stage we don't expect this to be as high as this afternoon's high tide, but we will post an update at 9pm tonight.
We are due for more rain tomorrow. Contractors will be out over the weekend checking grates and drains so the stormwater network can work effectively.

What a kind and thoughtful lady you are. Warms the cockles of my heart. Had to laugh at "...dont leave your dogs and animals outside.." tho. LEAVE them out? Jeez, I can't even GET them out! Both dogs been hanging on since 11 last night.
Very kind hearted lady - go you! <3

Create an indoor obstacle course
Hop along the hallway, snake under the table, do a forward roll onto cushions, pick up some dried pasta with your teeth and move it into the next bowl. Use your imagination to come up with a challenging indoor course that helps the kids to burn off some energy.
Have a tea-party/indoor picnic
Spread out the picnic blanket/kids table and set out little plates with snacks and drinks and napkins and enjoy an indoor picnic. Cuddly toys also make useful guests!
Make a den
Use sheets and blankets draped over chairs and make an indoor den. Your children can make their own signs for the entrance and gather cushions, books and snacks to take into the den.
Make some puppets
Use old socks and arts and crafts to make puppets and put on a show.

Reach out to people have some community spirit during this weather event and afterwards.
Some people and their pets need a break. A warm dry home in your house, some home cooking, a meal out, some company, a goodie basket, to be taken to the movies, a day trip somewhere, a haircut, a vet visit, dog groom, dr visit, just to be listened to, a change of scenery, some work done around their home, new friends, any nice thing you could think of. Use your imagination.
Its time to pull together again christchurch. If your interested please comment.
If anyone can help me set up a database to match people up to be used in all events and situations that would be awesome.
Lets show our love towards one another and community spirit again.
Kiaha kaha in this rain event xx
