Hi neighbours,

Tuesday's storm over the Waikato caused havoc for some locals, including Clem Newby whose cows were struck by lightning. The dairy farmer said he heard a "hell of a bang" before finding four cows had died when hit by lightning. You can read the full story here, please note however there is a graphic warning on this story as some images may be upsetting.

"The lightning was just horrific and it really frightened myself. I had never heard anything like it in my life and it really shook the cowshed," says Clem.

The storm caused power outages, school closures, and flash flooding. Even some houses were hit by lightning. So, what was it like at your place? Have you ever seen a storm like this in the Waikato before? Share your thoughts with us in the replies below.

We are on the hunt for New Zealand's most original, even legendary, Santas - can you help?? This will be someone that embodies the big guy with the white beard year round and who people in your neighbourhood often refer to as Santa.

An estimated 1 billion volunteers around the globe are freely giving their time to make a difference on the issues that affect them and their communities, often in the most difficult of circumstances.
This year’s theme, ‘volunteers build resilient communities’ acknowledges the vital role of volunteers in preventing, preparing and responding to shocks and stresses and building resilience.
We can support communities to be resilient by growing volunteers through development, training and recognition. Grow volunteers, build #ResilientCommunities.
