Well, what a last day at work. I was in the middle of our tilt slab building when it hit.
scarpering for the door through our messy workshop I got dumped on the floor just as a large concrete mixer looking thing was heading for me.
2 of the other guys were unloading BIG I beam's off a truck with a gantry crane, fork knows how they weren't killed.
Here's a pic of our press brake that weighs a metric shet load, it had moved a good 3ft.
We all went home early, roads were already starting to flood.
Just after I took this pic Kiwipete drove past me.
Got to my sisters place after about 3 hours in traffic, neither her or my Mum could get hold of me, so she broke down when she saw me.
I went with my flatmate to see if his folks were ok, road was blocked off.... Damned if I know why.
Yes the car next to the bus is nose down in the tarmac.
His folks live on the hills, THEY were ok
After that we spent until 2:30am refueling the pumps and driving out of town to refuel the tanker.
My knee slowly starting to seize up after landing on it, damn it hurts to bend it either way.
The tanker is now on it's way to City care to make sure they have enough diesel.
Rodney and his GF are ok too, I'm make sure he stops by this thread.
