Four days on from the wedding, we’re still stuck in Matarangi thanks to the cyclone causing road closures - so it’s fair to say this was worth freaking out about! But all guests managed to leave the area with time to spare, so I guess it falls into that area between ‘group mentality causing everyone to stay irrationally calm’ and ‘individual concern causing everyone to sensibly leave just before the forecast deteriorated’. Thanks for writing about your experience - and for attending our wedding!
Ahh, Matt. Thanks for hosting such a great bash in the midst of an unprecedented weather event! Good luck up there. Really hope you all can leave soon. But yes, this whole disaster tipping point convo is def one to approach again. Fascinating trying to work out the 'critical mass' needed to freak out (love that description you gave before)! Meanwhile though, stay safe! xx
