Getting very windy!

Just hearing reports of roofs lifting in Lyall Bay, a mini tornado in Karori, power lines down in Island Bay, a shed blown onto the road in Brooklyn, windows blown in here & there, trees down, chunks of roofing off of buildings, hail.

Batten down the hatches, folks!

EDIT: Well, that hit with a hell of a bang! While I was on the phone to the forecasters at the Metservice, in fact. Metservice doesn't expect it to last too long thankfully, just a couple of hours - another missed event, Bob?

Please, please, please be careful on the roads out there, there have been a whole bunch of motor vehicle accidents already.

EDIT: 5:42 - Here's the Stuff article about it so far - http://www.stuff.co.nz/national/3441447/Wild-weather-blasts-central-New-Zealand
