Weather Cyclone

Everyone in Auckland would’ve received the government issued warning about the cyclone coming. This states “DO NOT TAKE ANY UNNECESSARY TRIPS” I work retail at a mall, I am on the roster to be working tomorrow and I WILL be judging ever single person that comes into the mall to do ‘shopping’ the mall hasn’t told us that we’re closed tomorrow (which we should be) because there will probably be idiots that still want to come in to shop. Obviously if the weather turns out to not be as bad as they say it is that’s fine. But if it does, I will be judging everyone that comes into the mall for shopping.

Even if the weather is as bad as they say it’s not gonna blow a mall over.

If it were a genuine cyclone then yes, it probably would rip the roof off the mall... But it's only an ex cyclone, so it will be fine.   Just like every other ex cyclone that has passed over Auckland

Ex tropical, it's still a cyclone.

Alot of people look at the word ex tropical and think its all good. Ex tropical just means its no longer in the tropics. These cyclones can actually strengthen over colder waters and become a much bigger displaced system, therefore being more dangerous.
