Sure is Raining

Back Blip from Akaora

Sure has been a stormy day with none stop rain and gale force winds since around 4am. It doesn't look it in this shot I took from the door way... the wind was so stronge I could hardly stand up and the rain was lashing down.

The emergency sirens went off twice within a shot time of each other. They are for either the Volunteer Fire Brigade or and the ambulance services. I would say there were accidents on the road they were called out to. The people next to me are both volunteer emergency people.. one is a nurse and the other a driver and a fireman. The volunteer emergency people do amazing job. They both have full time work as well.
