I can remember in 1971 seeing a car flying along that main road near the church in Turakina on the lefthand side facing Wanganui and it flipped on its top

There are branches and things everywhere. There was a fire engine just up the road doing something too. In weather like this we seem to get a southerly as the wind whips around the manukau heads so when you look up the lower level clouds were coming in from the south and the higher ones coming in from the west-southwest. It ends up being a funny mix, and very damaging down our south west facing street, that is lined with large London Plane Trees

Warming up quickly in Chch after the cold snap - shot up from about 0C to 15C in the 3 hours from 6am, and now it's 17C.
Yesterday's 6pm weather map showed very tight isobars around the low to the east of the North Island - I imagine central and eastern NI areas getting gales as well. And I was half expecting the Desert Road to be closed last night by snow and ice, with Waiouru obs only just above freezing. Snow levels I guess would've been unseasonably low in the central plateau.

Bit more than a breeze out this way some gusts just sitting on gale force at times enough to rattle the house
Also quite exposed next door with new houses in so funnels through quite nicly despite the dust
.
Certainly is something there for Friday the 17th most likly looking at breif rain and NW gales at this stage heavy falls in the alps with thunderstorms perhaps. Overnight could be interesting though
.
Cheers

Still some very cold air in the subantarctic. Here's the Macquarie Island Webcam (accessed via weatherzone forums):
