Hi Glenn, I am really glad to know that you, little red and the doggos are safe. I thought we had been smashed here in Northland until the power came back on 6 days later and we saw the utter destruction that you guys down there have been through. Our thoughts are with you. Take care.
I lived next to the puketapu church from 1970 to 1980 .. not many people knew the puketapu Bridge as well as me and my brother did .. very sad .. and I've now lived 35 years looking over the Esk Valley .. when I woke up that morning on the 14 of February I was in disbelief at what I was seeing .. sadly there were numerous fatalities there .. thank you for sharing your footage and I wish you all the best with your recovery...
I used to live in Hawkes Bay before I moved to Norway. Watching these videos is both like time travel and heartbreaking. I worked for several businesses in the area doing book keeping and accounting and even did a stint with the regional fire service. I'm amazed at some of the stories of survival that are coming out. They way volunteers are showing up to help just brings tears to my eyes, because I recognise that beautiful, friendly Kiwi Spirit and I miss it so desperately here. I wish you well and I wish you much good will hunting in the near future.
After the earthquake here in Christchurch we had no power for 4 weeks and no water for 4months. Destruction all around...you will get through this, it is just so heartbreaking at the mo. Kia kaha.
So sad to see what you all are going through. Your footage is amongst the most telling I have seen so far. Heartbreaking when your little slice of paradise isn't so anymore. It's going to take time mate but Kiwis as a breed are pretty resilient and mostly a good bunch in spite of a few ratbags. Wishing you, your whanau and your local communities all the best and thanks for sharing your experiences with the hunting community. Keep sharing your recovery journey with us if you're able. Kia Kaha
Great drone work and video thanks from us in the South Island , who do not have a clue what you have been through ....its important to get the word out
I reluctantly gave this video a "thumbs up" Glenn, because it just doesn't seem the right thing to do. It's just hard to believe the scope of the damage. Just can't think of the right words to express my thoughts. Keep smiling mate, as hard as that must be. If you and Emma need to get out of dodge for a sanity break you are welcome to come and spend a few days in the Bay of Islands with us.
I am in Tasman Mate & it,s easy to feel for you. We got beat up last winter here. Given that i,m happy to be rhetorical here - Pines & Forestry slash seem to a common feature in all the footage i am seeing. I would be grateful at some stage to hear ur thoughts on that! Anyway like Murphy i,m an optimist so this should sort out the North Is unemployment problem. Don,t mind me iv,e just finished a book by Ross Curtis an old school culler from the 1940,s onwards. Back in the day when a 4lb axe was the common tool of most bushmen. Honestly in todays world I dread to think where the infatuation with Carbon Credits is going to take us! Like I said mate, thinking of you & yours. Keep ur powder dry!
Thanks Glenn. Thanks so much for taking the time to show us what it looks like down there. This shows some of the scale of investment required by the government to rebuild in the Bay. The amount of wood from forestry is mind-boggling.
Thanks for your citizen reporting on the cyclone aftermath that laid waste to the land. In the long run it’s a healing event that thankfully doesn’t occur too often. Hang in there as the rescue Calvary will eventually come and restore the basic services you’d come to expect. Born and raised on Guam so these events are commonplace and the communities have hardened to prepare for these type of events.
Good evening Holy that's absolutely crazy wow.. when I heard the Cyclone was coming I thought sweet just a bit wind and rain nothing seriously then it hit and I remember Cyclone Bola as a kid and this was next level. On a positive lol plenty of firewood for everyone all over. But big Rip to the losses both of life's, livestock and businesses. I wish you the very best.. you keep a kiwi down for long we'll be back stronger then ever.
❤May condolences to all the beautiful souls who have been effected by this devastating weather , My heart 💔Seeing my homeland like this, Kiwis are extra resilient that much I know for sure What grows out of mud, 🪷 Beautiful Water lilies 🥰Take Care -🫶🏻fifi
Good day Glenn,, heartbreaking event and distraction to people's belongings and life, we all are very sorry for the pain this weather event caused to a lot of people.Our thoughts and pryers are with you all.Beat regards mate,, Tony.
G’day from Brizzy, Glen. I really can’t believe the destruction either. Rivers of logs & silt?? I’ve been watching News clips over the last few days & really feel for you & Lil Red, plus everyone in same position.
No shortage of firewood for winter though a? That's a positive out if a negative, I guess.... Very devastating to see all the harvests suffocated and buried. So lucky those houses were so elevated ,I'm glad not everyone lost everything completely though it doesn't lessen the loss you have endured. Much love and light to you beautiful souls
Hey mate I'm a self employed builder and would love to help you or someone you know out there that is in need!!. We are pretty untouched in Elsthorpe and ready to go when you need even if it I'd in the months to come. Thinking of you guys out there
Thank you BRB. Here in the Gisborne Hood for me is ok, but heaps of friends have suffered big time. Yes hunting on the east coast for some will be a necessity to supply the cut off families with meat! Bridges are yes the biggest problems on the coast and inland to the famous Ruakituri River and Te Ureweras. What they say "what doesn't killl you makes you stronger"! No man can control the direction water wants to take!
One day after another Glenn each day it will get a little better each day , these events are sent to challenge us make us stronger time will heal the land and the people
Man if i could be there to help with the clean up id be there in a heartbeat! That river must have come up a hell of a distance. Are there any records of the river level at its peak? I feel so sorry for you guys.
all my arohanui goes out to ya'll. I was thinking today that at least in 2010/2011 we had the opportunity to rescue some of our things and salvage timber and furniture that wasn't damaged in the earthquakes. There is no hope of that for this, everything touched by floodwaters will have been contaminated or damage by water. I am so sorry. This is a mammoth recovery and will be a much longer one. i would recommend getting away as often as you can and remembering it is a marathon not a race and to ask for help where you can because your mental health will undoubtedly take a hit along the line. Do you have a givealittle or something for us peeps to contribute? Kia kaha, e hoa x
Sending you and your family good wishes in this difficult time! What a mammoth amount of destruction,.We have had similar damage in Queensland over the years and the trouble is that a 1;150 year floods are becoming 1;3 year floods. Hope your not hit in the same way! Take care.
Hey Glenn, little red I am happy to know you and your family are well ,Like you said the looks like a warzone till you are in it you can't comprehend the damage All the best Take care Ps Hunting will be always be there, how long it takes to get your life back in order
im in taradale and the power substation got hit with the water from the river and we lost power Monday night the 13th of Feb and got power back on Monday afternoon the 20th of Feb and taradale got evacuated on the 14th of Feb to tamatea intermediate school and a church and we got back home the same day in the afternoon
my people have gone through that flood for 700 years in that area.. they built high up to navigate the wild weathers ... but after pakeha stole the land , it forced many of my people to the low lying lands and It was many of them who were hit hardest. pakeha infrastructure has failed on the east coast.
Wow so many of all nationalities effected & also live on the flatt for decades.. if that's all you can afford or find at the time. On the mountain a tornado or earthquake can destroy. Such a pathetic comment you give your "people" a bad name.
Queenslander here; sucks, don't it. 28 inches, that's a bit, alright. That silt is a gonna be a huge problem. Maybe it can be sold, fine sand is used in many ways. Clean up looks horrendous.
Had any run ins with the mongrel mob? There's been whisperings from NZ about them holding up people with firearms and looting . The rivers name is apt, Tutaikuri . In my Grandfathers old Maori it says river of dog shit.
Send army back in to help with clean up.these people need way more support on the ground. An Set up tx to donate over tv. so everyone can donate small or big easily
Massive respect for you all. You guys are awesome. I wish you all well. I'm sorry to bring this up but I strongly believe this cyclone was manufactured and manipulated to cause the damage on purpose. There are weather controlling stations called HARP all over the globe. Governments have admitted they are using cloud seeding technology. I live on the sea and I've seen a lot of things over the years. But nothing like the crazy cloud formations and vapour trails in the last 3 years. You will.see if you look to the SKYS. All the best for you all.

Have you actually been out of New Zealand? This formed in the Pacific like it has been before man was around. Ger more of an education than than you tube.
Solar and batteries would be perfect for this situation, obviously can't rely on the national grid in a disaster, even a genny needs fuel, where you gonna get that?
Civil defence and MSD haven't even stepped up from the Jan flood and now we've got this to deal with, wonder why we all pay them quarter of our earnings they are pathetic.
Judgement is here. This is written in The Holy Bible. i am sorry for your situation, pleaae turn to Jesus Christ. People rejected The God Creator and His Son Jesus. Hes alowing reaping and sowing. its a war on mankind . listen to the gov reterik. NW 0rder. please, worse things are to unfold this year. it wonr be fixex. destruction is coming world wide. look around friend. Jesus is coming. without Christ there is no hope for anyone. My hope is on Him.
People seem to have way more success with being nice to wildlife bro if you want much more views. There is a reason why these seemingly "angry" natural disasters are happening. Even the term is Atheistic to begin, shows you who is in control.

I don't agree with you about the north not giving a shit. Loads of us up here felt for you all and sent donations and goods. Your sweeping statement is disingenuous-to thoughtful loving Kiwis

What an amazing offer you are really thoughtful. 👏👏
Heartbreaking to see what’s happened to the Hawkes Bay. Glad you guys are safe.
Greetings from Germany. There is work for a long time. Looks like the Ahrtal flood here with over 180 dead people. Stay safe.
Lets hope the death toll is not so high.
Both horrible.
Devastating mate, I have no words for what you and the wider east coast community's are going through. 😢
Glad you and the family are ok
Absolutely feeling for you guys. Sending the love from Taupo. It’s hard to believe that such devistation is so close.
I am in Tasman Mate & it,s easy to feel for you. We got beat up last winter here. Given that i,m happy to be rhetorical here - Pines & Forestry slash seem to a common feature in all the footage i am seeing. I would be grateful at some stage to hear ur thoughts on that!

Our deepest sympathy brother, keep ya chin up, the hills will still be there when you get there after the clean up 🦌

Hi Glen, I was their in Otane visiting my sister. No power, no phone. Back in Oz thinking of you all.
Hey mate I'm a self employed builder and would love to help you or someone you know out there that is in need!!. We are pretty untouched in Elsthorpe and ready to go when you need even if it I'd in the months to come. Thinking of you guys out there
Commiserations and hopes for things to be sorted as soon as they practically can, from a kiwi in the UK
I'm sending you love and prayers ❤️🙏
Thank you BRB. Here in the Gisborne Hood for me is ok, but heaps of friends have suffered big time. Yes hunting on the east coast for some will be a necessity to supply the cut off families with meat!

Man some of your music is to die for.. Which band mate??
Hang in there man! Shit will improve and the hills are still there 😊
So sad...wish you all the very best....from the Gold Coast Qld
Unreal mate! We were in the Edgecumbe flood, feel your pain. Hang in there! Time will eventually heel😔
great footage thanks
Sending you and your family good wishes in this difficult time! What a mammoth amount of destruction,.We have had similar damage in Queensland over the years and the trouble is that a 1;150 year floods are becoming 1;3 year floods. Hope your not hit in the same way! Take care.
The ones who built on high ground were the smart ones
My Dads Place in Pakowhai had 4ft of water through it , Pretty much destroyed every thing .
All the best with it all.
Hey Glenn, little red I am happy to know you and your family are well ,Like you said the looks like a warzone
till you are in it you can't comprehend the damage All the best Take care
Ps Hunting will be always be there, how long it takes to get your life back in order
Lost for words really mate.Just stay positive that's all ya can do.
So you live on a flood plain?
THOUGHTS AND PRAYERS FROM NELSON
im in taradale and the power substation got hit with the water from the river and we lost power Monday night the 13th of Feb and got power back on Monday afternoon the 20th of Feb and taradale got evacuated on the 14th of Feb to tamatea intermediate school and a church and we got back home the same day in the afternoon

Bro u wouldn't even be able to write that if it wasn't for Pakeha lol you need to give up the victim mentality.
Wow so many of all nationalities effected & also live on the flatt for decades.. if that's all you can afford or find at the time. On the mountain a tornado or earthquake can destroy. Such a pathetic comment you give your "people" a bad name.

I feel the pain. All the rubbish you guys are going threw
I don’t know how I should put this
But Cheers have a great day when you can
😢 words are not enough
You guys are fairly lucky…cyclone jasper hit and dumped 2000mml in 4 days…
What a chaos. Unbelievable. No apples, kiwis, no crapes. No harvest, no income the next couple of years for fruit planters. Terrible.
..remember the Ruataniwha dam plan?, what happened to that?..
W.A. Australia is calling , come on over
Born and raised haumoana then hastings rode charges horse exercise along the stop banks
So sorry
Absolutely gutting. Ex-pat in Sydney.
Had any run ins with the mongrel mob? There's been whisperings from NZ about them holding up people with firearms and looting .
The rivers name is apt, Tutaikuri . In my Grandfathers old Maori it says river of dog shit.
Return to the days of the christchurch earthquakes there was no running water, power, sewer for weeks. It’s tough going
And the worse part is that it's all being done by design. It's going to keep coming, so best prepare as you can.
Send army back in to help with clean up.these people need way more support on the ground. An Set up tx to donate over tv. so everyone can donate small or big easily
Wow look at that shot@1.20. Hardly a tree in sight.
Help and support sent all areas

It's a war zone Allright bro
How much help are you getting from the government?
It's a crime scene buddy.....geoengineering and I'm so heartbroken for you and everyone

No ones SAFE…..SORRY JESUS
So sad.glad tho u hav petrol generators.sadly we will hav to rely on solar panels and batteries if labour gets their way.🤣🤣wat a joke labour is.
With solar and battery bank many would still have power…what is so bad to be energy self sufficient in a natural disaster?
@@badchefi People are grieving, don't push politics on them too
Solar and batteries would be perfect for this situation, obviously can't rely on the national grid in a disaster, even a genny needs fuel, where you gonna get that?
I have solar and they work all year round u blonker
Is this how dumb people are they just talk shit lies then balme Labour for their insecurities
Thats so bad and you probably have the worst possible Govt in power to try to manage this mess...
