More lightening flashes on Friday 15 December in West Auckland
Did anyone notice the lightening flashes here in West Auckland? I was very fortunate to see all this lightening when I was getting some bread from the petrol station the other night. Did anyone catch any footage or take any pics of this these particular nights?
It wasn't like ordinary lightening. It was like a purply colour. I reckon this would of lasted till the next morning.

Some Choice News!
DOC is rolling out a new tool to help figure out what to tackle first when it comes to protecting our threatened species and the things putting them at risk.
Why does this matter? As Nikki Macdonald from The Post points out, we’re a country with around 4,400 threatened species. With limited time and funding, conservation has always meant making tough calls about what gets attention first.
For the first time, DOC has put real numbers around what it would take to do everything needed to properly safeguard our unique natural environment. The new BioInvest tool shows the scale of the challenge: 310,177 actions across 28,007 sites.
Now that we can see the full picture, it brings the big question into focus: how much do we, as Kiwis, truly value protecting nature — and what are we prepared to invest to make it happen?
We hope this brings a smile!
