maybe it came free a bit from its mouring?
the fact there was a huge bouy that came ashore at New Plymouth is testamount to a huge NW swell

(that would at least alert power companies to call in more staff and for people to check their properties and to prepare for possible power cuts etc ?)
they would have had real time windspeed from auckland ariport showing the wind was increasing rapidly and the barometer was dropping quickly

anyway, its done now and hindsight is a great thing
but maybe they might be able to put in some checks for next time to be able to more quickly react to real time changing conditions?

A fail for Metservice
