Cyclone Gabrielle

This February has been something of a nightmare for many people living on the East Coast of New Zealand. The following photos share some of what has been happening before and after Cyclone Gabrielle. Fortunately, I escaped the worst effects of the storm, which were exacerbated by the slash formed from intensive logging.

Before the Storm

The above image was taken at Tokamoro Bay before the storm hit. The town is still not accessible by road as the bridge was washed away.

After the storm…

Whilst the weather calmed down, the effects of the storm will be felt for a long time. I hope that everybody’s lives get back to normal as soon as possible.
