With torrential rain and flooding caused by an 'atmospheric river', should this event convince us all that climate change is real and we need to be taking action?

Already ferries have been cancelled, there are power outages and drivers are being cautioned about driving in these conditions.

- Areas of North Auckland around Te Arai are without power as of 6.20am on Friday. Some areas near the Auckland border have had power cuts since at least 3am on Friday.
- Drivers heading over the Auckland Harbour Bridge advised by Waka Kotahi NZTA to watch out for strong gusts and wind. Commuters should drive to the conditions, look out for full bridge closures, and stay within their lane while travelling across the bridge. High-sided vehicles and motorcyclists should avoid the Harbour Bridge and use the Western Ring Route on State Highways 16 and 18.
Keep up to date with weather warnings on the MetService website and be cautious if travelling this Auckland Anniversary weekend.
Hi Neighbours
I have an awesome plant/tree which I really want to buy more of. Photos are attached. It has grown to about 1m or a little more, and has a umbrella-like weeping growth habit. The trunk is very woody like a tree. In one photo you can see a closer photo of the leaves; in the other … View moreHi Neighbours
I have an awesome plant/tree which I really want to buy more of. Photos are attached. It has grown to about 1m or a little more, and has a umbrella-like weeping growth habit. The trunk is very woody like a tree. In one photo you can see a closer photo of the leaves; in the other photo you can see the whole plant and the foreground shows more green which is actually all flowing growth from the same plant.
A horitculturist friend of mine suggested it might be 'Acacia Sticky Wattle' (Acacia Howittii) which it really does look like, though it doesn't have yellow flowers at any time of year and the spread of my plant is greater than this. As a similar alternative I would have been happy to buy the Acacia Sticky Wattle, except I found that one plant costs around $1150!
Thanks fo much in advance.
