The bus shelter didn’t loose its roof thankfully.

lol you can still hear me in this video & it was still 24°C, not for long.

170km/hr 40ft+ wall of sea spray coming up Otago Harbour about to wipe it so many historic trees in Dunedin.

Apocalyptic. #Oct23Storm #Dunedin #NZ

This is what a 170km wind & 40foot wall of sea spray looks like coming to you!

If that ain't an angry cloud, I don't know what is.

(George Costanza - the seas were angry that day my friend).

One angry mother fucking cloud - shelf cloud of a storm front with a wall of sea spray at the bottom coming to me sheltering in the bush shelter at 170km , absolute scenes moments later an absolute hurricane of rain & sea spray lashed us

If there's one thing I'd ask after today, it's join a Union and get out and vote @nzgreenparty.bsky.social in 2026

We need strong representation in the workforce and to fight climate change✊🏼

I'm sorry, but which part of "don't drive high sided trucks" does Coolpak not understand?

Major health and safety issue. They should be prosecuted for endangering their driver and other road users, as well as causing an unnecessary FENZ callout.
#Oct23storm
Picture taken from RNZ showing a high sided truck lying on its side on the road. Company branding shows it is owned by Coolpak.
