For the locals: Cyclone Gabrielle is going to hit central and upper North Island here in #aotearoa #nz in a few days. Things will prob get messy. The advice as to preparedness is good, but solely relying on websites for travel & relief information during a CAT3 cyclone is not wise. Cell towers will fall, power cuts will knock out your broadband. Def grab an AM/FM radio over the weekend & learn to use it. Stash in your grab bag with a spare set of batteries in a ziplock.
