Those guys are having it rough out in NZ on South Island. Shaun e-mailed last evening to say they were now able to get out of town after being cut off for three days. Then a couple of hours ago sent me this picture of a bridge they had driven over going into Fox Glacier that was washed away in the storm so cutting all communications off as well as passage.
