Morning All,
Just to set a few 'facts' straight.
Only one dead, flung against a concrete wall. 15 in Hospital, 2 serious but expected to survive.
It is extremely unusual for NZ to have a tornado although not unknown. The fact that it was estimated as a F2 (200 km winds) is very unusual. I've seen smaller ones and waterspouts out in the gulf are seen now and then in spring and summer but they are certainly not a regular occurence.
My wife was about 1 km away at work and came home shaking afterwards. She could see the debris flying about from office window.
Whatever is going on the weather has certainly been unusual over the last year or so. More extremes than previous (IMHO) so who knows what's next ?
