The North Island is being battered by some wild weather. We have had some stormy weather this winter, although it hasn't been very cold. This storm is being touted as being the biggest to hit us with some of the largest and deepest lows seen in a decade. There are weather warnings and people are being advised to stay indoors wherever possible.
The upper regions of the North Island have been hit first and wind gusts of 150km have been recorded. The central business district in the Far North has been evacuated. Telephone poles have been ripped out and the sea is coming up and causing flooding in Devonport and St Heliers.
The storm has developed an eye and was on track to reach Central Auckland around midnight on Sunday morning - very dramatic! However, it never really did arrive here and moved on further South leaving havoc in its aftermath.

Hey Chickie! I'm Melissa! We had a typhoon this week in Taiwan. So, for a change, our weather seems similar!
