It's almost been two months since Pippa Harry's home was deemed uninhabitable.
Her Te Puru home was one of the worst hit in early January, when the Coromandel Peninsula took a pounding as northeasterly gales, a low-pressure system and a king tide combined to cause widespread damage to roads, coastal properties and low-lying areas. Unfortunately, experts say there could be more of the same in the future.

For Thames/Coast sea level rise is not some far-off problem..

King tides, like the one that rolled over the top of the south in January, (and Thames on 5 Jan) are going to become more frequent as climate change continues to raise sea levels, says atmospheric scientist James Renwick.
Even a sea level rise of 10 centimetres could turn a massive king tide event from every 100 years to every 30 years, he said.
Add another 10cm and it could happen every 10 years. Another 10cm on top of that and king tide events could be every three years, Renwick said.
