The northern part of New Zealand's North Island has recently been hit by a severe storm. Multiple areas on the North Island experienced power outages, trees were uprooted, and many houses had their roofs blown off, making it one of the most severe storms seen in the past decade.

New Zealand's meteorological agency warned that this storm is one of the most severe the country has experienced in the last ten years. The heavy rain and strong winds caused widespread flooding across the North Island. The city of Whangarei had previously urged residents to evacuate temporarily to ensure safety, while Auckland, the largest city on the North Island, remained on high alert. The meteorological agency advised residents of the North Island to avoid going out unless absolutely necessary in the next 24 hours.
