Wish I was there with you. I’m currently at home while a cyclone is lashing the country with states of emergency being declared in many areas. The news hasn’t been updated this morning but I’m guessing the town may be cut off by flooding

Are you in NZ!? I've got a family friend who lives just south of Auckland and he was telling me that theres a cyclone in the south island?

Yes, I live in Oamaru. Solid rain the last 2 days but we haven’t had it as bad as other places. Some places in South Island have declared a state of emergency and some north island places are without power

Wait is that the place with the gliding?

That’s crazy.. I’m curious how bad Milford Sound is getting it. When it rained there it really rained. Hope it dies down soon.

Wait that was Omarama! My girlfriend just told me which I completely forgot about we spend a night in Oamaru! We tried looking for penguins at the beach and night but it was actually absolutely poring rain at that point as well when we were there.

That’s great that you’ve been here. I hope you liked it. It’s changed a lot in the last few years and is a real tourist trap now. I hope you come back again some time and stay a bit longer. I did a post about it here https://steemit.com/newbieresteemday/@markkennard/my-home-town-oamaru-new-zealand
Might bring back some memories

Feel free to check out the latest part of the guide @kryptocek . I hope that you enjoy it! @markkennard I hope you stay safe out there. Doesn't sound like very fun times. My parents visited NZ about a decade ago, they said it was a gorgeous place and the culture was amazing there. They never mentioned cyclones though....I hope everybody is alright!

It’s only been the last year that tropical cyclones have reached Oamaru. We had a state of emergency in July with flooding. This time wasn’t that bad though. We just got the tail end of it

I certainly hope it stays tamed! Good luck dealing with that. Mother Nature can be uncontrollable at times lol.

The sun is out today so all is good now. Also, be careful how many upvotes you make each day. You get powered up each day by 20% so it’s best to not make more than 10 upvotes a day otherwise your voting power will go below 80 which you don’t want. You can check how much voting power you have left by going to https://steemd.com/@terminallyill
Or https://steemworld.org/@terminallyill
That one also shows all the upvotes you’ve received from others and upvotes you’ve made. It also shows comments and resteems. A very handy site

LOL I wish I had known that prior. Thank you for the much needed heads up on that. So, is there a way to bring my voting power up by moving funds into my Steem account or anything of the sort? It'll be 3 days before my voting power goes back up to 100%.

I just checked stems.com and you are down to 29% voting power so don’t make any more upvotes for about 3-4 days

Yea definitely need to put a halt to that. I just try to help as many people as i can by upvoting, which i can see has turned around on me. How can I raise my voting power?

The only way you can is to wait as far as I’m aware. I Just looked st steemd again and it’s 26% so don’t vote for 4 days

Yea, why's it keep dropping? I've ceased upvoting.....thats odd. I received about half of it through my content. The other half came from trading. Being I trade crypto, I bounced some of my profits over to Steemit, which built my SP up pretty decent.

Those other sites are external to Steemit so the reason it keeps dropping is because they are just catching up to the transactions on the Steemit blockchain

I just checked your wallet and you have a lot of Steem Power for a someone new. How on earth did you get so much. Maybe you can give me a tip

If you learn how to trade crypto, you'd be surprised what you can do with your Steemit earnings.
