Yesterday we had an intense storm blow through #Wellington, #Aotearoa #NewZealand. We’re used to strong winds, but this was worse than normal, the temp dropped from 20c to 9c in about an hour, there was hail, lightning, rain, and hail.

I was driving when it hit, moving stuff to my new house. Thankfully made it ok.

Here are some pictures.

Wow this is awful!

Is that your home that was hit?

Glad to hear that you are ok, but pretty ferocious storm! 💜

The house is fine, no damage thankfully. The worst of it was in the wellington suburb of lower hutt on the north side of the bay.

Impactful. Good to know you’re ok.

Damn Man…Pics look crazy! I’m glad your ok. 💜🫂

Yeah that was a shock. I was working outside boring holes for fence posts in the hot sun. Then the wind shifted, got really cold, and blew all my trash cans down the road.

Wow, that's intense

Wow - that must have been quite a wind storm. Those are some hefty trees that came down. Nature always wins.

Glad your move went OK.
