Also the highest NZ wide temp for the whole summer was recorded only 7km from my station. Amazing that a location that gets foern winds did not top it.
I saw last night some footage my dad recorded during the height of the storm on the 13th. In an area not normally subject to strong winds ( mid way between Hamilton aero and Cambridge town on the flat). Crazy to see a 45 year old pin oak bending in half like a bow, but also that the sky was perfectly clear and sun shining at the time.

Oh, that was a notorious sting jet. Probably luckly then there was not more damage than there was.

There were people in north Waikato without power for a week. It was pretty bad here. I recorded 119km at the house and was up around 90-100 for a long time. Hopefully FMG or the likes release a storm damage claims figure.
