Wednesday’s wild weather across the North Island was certainly one to remember.  A total of 3 reported Tornadoes struck New Plymouth, Botany in Auckland and Tauranga consecutively.  Roofs were lifted, fences and cars damaged and several people injured.  “It’s almost unheard of to get three damaging tornadoes in New Zealand within just a few hours” says the Radio Networks head weather analyst Philip Duncan.  “Over the past couple of weeks the air pressure over New Zealand has continued to drop, when that happens the air becomes very unstable and it allows storms like this to rapidly and unexpectedly develop”.
