A family of cows caught the world's attention last night as helicopter footage showed their peril – trapped on a quake island.
This morning, however, their fate is unknown.
A helicopter, flying over torn farmlands outside Kaikoura, captured the image of two cows and a calf huddled together on a small piece of grassy land. The magnitude 7.5 earthquake cleared all surrounding pasture, leaving a huge dirt sea all around the cows' refuge.

A family of cows is trapped on a tiny earthquake made island.
Despite the huge support for the cows, with social media demanding they be saved, police said they had to prioritise the wellbeing of people.

Remarkable that only 2 lives have been lost. Stay safe....

I assume your house is Ok, if only your garage is wet...so that could be worse.
Stay safe

when i finally got home i found that the neighbour was mistaken
his place and the house behind mine were flooded
he cleared 2 drains at mine and that seems to have done the job
i left a hose on all day earlier this year (blonde moment) which flooded the garage so i wasnt looking forward to the cleanup

im watching the skies hoops eternal

There is a supermoon going on at the moment so anything is possible, including martians. Stay safe and dry Kiwi.
