The storm that hit Torbay

The storm that hit Torbay

On Tuesday the 10th of June 2014 a strong raging storm hit Torbay and all over Auckland this storm was very strong winds and heavy rain that took down trees that covered some roads and people had to come with huge diggers in the morning thank goodness me and my mum didn't get on to the road before the trees came down.

Over night me and mum had our ponies out the back the wind was blowing hard like a thousands of people banging outside of our house i looked out my window and saw pore patch and Serenade in the storm with the wind blowing up patches winter cover my mum was worried about leaving out there in the storm she was thinking of going out there and bringing them into the front paddock where there was no wind because of the tall fence.

I thought we should but how could we even catch the ponies it was such a deadly wind but we had to so we went out there like the ponies own super heroes THUNDER! COME ON GIRL! she was all the way at the bottom but she couldn't be bothered to walk up to me so i had to walk through the horrifying cold wind and i made to the bottom i put the halter around thunder and walked back up and mum took the two ponies and i took thunder to the front paddock and they all loved it much better Thank goodness! said me and mum.

So in the morning i had to go to school i didn't really want to because of the weather but never mind. On the way to school me and mum saw a lot of trees that have fallen down and we saw one that was moved off the road and it made a big mess but no wonder it made a huge mess because it was a pine tree. I had a good time at school anyway. When i got home we got to watch the news at dinner time and we saw a whole lot of unlucky people who had trees come down on top of their cars and some blocked their driveway so they couldn't get out and the worse parts were that some trees squashed the houses and kids and adults got killed and some couldn't get out this storm was stronger anyone we have had in quite a while.
