Did anyone lose their lives? Are torandos a normal occurence in NZ?

As far as I know, miraculously no one died, if it had of gone on for any longer I think people would have been in great danger though. No, tornadoes are very rare here, I mean we get alot of wind storms, but not to the extent where there is alot of damage done.

lol jk Oh and about that cyclone it was a category 5 off the coast (the strongest) but by the time it got to land it was downgraded to a 1 (the weakest obviously).

Wow really. That's amazing, lucky it wasn't 5 when it reached the land!

I'm glad too. Because I probably wouldn't have had a house! Yeah pretty scary stuff though.
