Sads news. There is a PWS in the area which collected 40mm in an hour (Mountain Road). The ground was wet from the Thursdays rain so todays thunderstorm would have produced excessive run off.
Radar showed the storm was most intense near Piha, would be interesting if there was a rain measurement from that area this evening.
Very sad news.
Plenty of heating over west Auckland this afternoon feeding into the showers, Waitakere on 24C mid afternoon
