Thunder and lighting was the loudest sound that could be heard in The Gardens. Outbreaks, power cuts, flooding homes and other disasters had been going on ever since the menacing twister Cyclone Gabrielle, when it started on a heavy rain around evening.
It was difficult for lots of families, stores, companies and schools, because of the flooding waves. Especially some people lost their lives during the event.
Now people are starting to rebuild houses and properties and reopening schools, including State Highway 35, who took many damage from the cyclone. So that’s why we are singing about the Highway 35 on next term, week 3 at the Kahu Assembly.
