Cyclone V-something is already hitting the far North, and a number of regions around the country have declared states of emergency in anticipation. No one wants to be like Wayne Brown, the mayor of Auckland , who didn’t declare a state of emergency until buses were already floating down the highway. Mind you, voters gave short memories, and I think he’s been voted back into office in elections since then.
Meanwhile, the top two movies on Netflix tonight are storm related:
Twisters is a film I’ve heard of, Thrash is something new. It seems to be a mash up of two disaster genres, storms and sharks.
Maybe I shouldn’t be surprised, as I was one of the many people to rewatch “Contagion” during the COVID pandemic several years ago. Who could forget Gwyneth’s classic ugly death scene?
