Not sure about the ICNZ's claim that this was the costliest tornado on record...

Re: Papatoetoe Tornado - June 19
The Frankton tornado looks like NZ largest tornado event.
The Papatoetoe tornado was the largest tornado to be caught on film in NZ. It occurred in the morning but an afternoon event may have seen a stronger tornado with generally more instability in the afternoon hrs.
