Natural disasters in NZ!



There are lots of disasters. Sometimes they can cost lots of money to fix and it is scary for towns/cities when they happen! There is earthquakes, tornados, floods, forest fires, volcanoes and lots more in NZ! Sometimes earthquakes can make floods because they might break the water pipes underground! Also, they could break a wall around a river and then it starts to flood! Did you know that Hamilton is quite safe from earthquakes? There have been 20 earthquakes in NZ (New Zealand) 2010 to 2016 (2010-2016). There has only been 1 in Waikato at Taupo! Christchurch has had 4 earthquakes (2010 to 2016). Only talking about ones with a better magnitude of 60. Also not talking about aftershocks. Did you know that tornados can spin up to 300 mph? Also, did you know that tornados often come from very very early in the morning to bedtime? They still come at other times. Tornados can also be named twisters or whirlwinds.

The three little schnauzers and the big, bad wolf

By Anonymous -
Once upon a time, in the middle of the forest lived three little schnauzers! They had to move out of their doggy home because their mother said "Go build a great, strong home!," they dashed like fast cheetahs into the great, sandy plains, the first little schnauzer called Dashy made his house out of steak, beef and glass, its shape was half a sphere "Woofy, woof!," The second schnauzer called Woofy made its house with squeaky rubber. "Squeaky, SQUEAAKKK," The 3rd schnauzer called Noodle made its house out of the most best dog chocolate in the world, the door was made out of the strongest metal in the entire world and had brick inside, the house had an outside layer of thick, hard brick. Then another layer of the most hardest, strongest, most durable, waterproof wood! It had really strong arches to support the half of a sphere! A big, bad, wolf came.
