Getting flangs here. One I watched hit nearby and the second it hit we lost power. Must have hit the local substation a couple km away.

I've had about 6mm locally for the thread, which is not surprising considering where the low was positioned. My highlight was the CG I saw across the gulf yesterday. The last front and trough is heading in now from the SW, there might be a little cold showery sting in the tail for parts of Auckland in the next couple of hours.
