Re: Strong Cold Front - 17/18 Sept
yes noticed a big gale like wind as the front bit of the band came through. the rain was near territorial. it was like if it was a gust front? or a squall?
also report powerlines downsth auckland and a tramp in waihi flew away. so a good gale alright. as that front moved in.

Cold front looked very linear on radar west of Auckland earlier.
Would have been intense on harbour bridge!

Re: Strong Cold Front - 17/18 Sept
this front produced thunder on the south island and some flooding rain wellington. so not surprised some damage has occurred up here. what was missing was lightning/thunder but all good. still a active front. 25mm here. showers still coming in

This area is owned by Patoa Farms, there were pigs in these blocks at the time.
They think around 300-400 pigs were killed
