The severe storm that ripped through Southland and South Otago, disrupting communications, water, and power, has not claimed any lives, according to emergency managers. PowerNet has restored power to all but 9500 customers, down from 50,000 earlier  in the day. However, the company cautioned that due to the damage caused by the ferocious winds on Thursday, it could be five days before electricity is restored in some areas. Emergency Management Southland controller Lucy Hicks said it was "very, very lucky" that no-one died in the fast-moving storm. "This one was the speediest that I've ever come across," she said. "Within about 15 minutes, we went from an orange warning to a red one. "MetService was expecting it to be an orange, within 15 minutes we had 170ks out on the Foveaux [Strait]. That is unusually large. "I think we all responded very quickly to a situation that was moving very quickly. "It's always pedal to the metal, but you ar...

Plans for the Labor Day weekend could go awry as a major storm system plows across the nation, bringing snow, strong winds, and heavy rain to several areas. NEMA chief executive Dave Gawn said MetService has now issued orange and yellow warnings across both islands, and advised travellers to take the conditions seriously, as they head home from the long weekend. MetService have issued warnings for rain, wind and snow, and it's essential that people factor these into their travel plans," Gawn said. "Plan your trips, bring extra supplies in case you get lost, and consider delaying your trip if it looks really bad. "Be on the lookout for slips and debris, never drive through floodwater, and check for closures before you hit the road." Gawn said the agency had activated the National Crisis Management Centre in the Beehive to co-ordinate support across regions already hit by last week's severe weather. Extra personnel and generators have been moved into Southla...

I've discovered that October is an amazing month to travel after living in the United States for a few years and exploring it every fall. While New England is a classic, I've discovered numerous other places that shine, including quirky small towns and golden mountain towns.... 1. West Virginia's Harper's Ferry In October, when the surrounding Appalachian Mountains were ablaze with fiery reds and golds, the air was cool and crisp, and the cobblestone streets felt wonderfully atmospheric, I adored visiting this charming town from the 19th century. Seasonal ghost tours gave the whole place a delightfully spooky vibe, and the kilt-clad Scottish-style Highland Games and all the fun Halloween events made it feel like the perfect autumn getaway.  I drove 1.5 hours from Washington, D.C., spent a long weekend leaf-peeping along the switchback-filled Maryland Heights Trail and the bucket-list-worthy Appalachian Trail (starting at its famous midpoint), soaked up the sweeping vie...

Sheffield Wednesday: A Fresh Start Built on Tradition There is a new sense of hope at Hills borough. Sheffield Wednesday are beginning a fresh chapter, yet they remain anchored to the passion and loyalty that has defined the club for more than a century. Friday’s announcement that the club had entered administration was a gut punch for supporters, officially triggering a 12-point deduction and dropping the Owls to the bottom of the Championship. It is a stark consequence of financial turmoil and years of mismanagement. Still, it also brings a moment many fans thought might never arrive: the end of owner Dejphon Chansiri’s tenure. Administrators Begbies Traynor have already begun conversations with interested investors. According to BBC Sheffield, there are credible parties ready to explore a takeover. If a suitable buyer does not emerge, the Sheffield Wednesday Supporters Trust has prepared a fan-led proposal to protect the club from liquidation and ensure supporters have a voice in it...
