The Te Karaka township near Gisborne was hit by an inland tsunami during the early hours of Tuesday 14th February. Barely escaping with her life, my sister Alicia has lost everything. Her home has been condemned along with the beautiful Takipu marae. Communications remain out so we have not been able to talk to Alicia or see any photos of the disaster yet. https://www.1news.co.nz/2023/02/16/te-karaka-locals-tell-stories-of-cyclone-heartbreak-watched-our-town-basically-get-drowned/ https://fb.watch/iMpVRfGdfY/?mibextid=NnVzG8
Wishing all the best to your family in NZ Meredith ?
