  1. I had to give up listening and watching this crap and rubbish.
    A number of pics showed trees down with dead leaves meaning the tree had been down for well over a week. I am a Kiwi and could not work out what places the AI? was talking about

  2. Why do you pronounce New Zealand place names , in the American fashion ?
    Its insulting .
    Wr do not do that with American place names , or peoples names . 🤔

    Half the place names , i dont recognise , and im a new zealander .

  3. We were in the worst hit areas in the Far North. We are on a harbour so flooding happens at high tide when there was literally no where for the excess rain water to go to. The wind was worse, but no where as bad as Cyclone Gabriel, when it hit 2 years ago.
    Back then we lost thousands of trees. Councils have done a lot over the past two years to clear out creeks, rivers and stormwater ways after the massive floodings we experianced during Gabriel. We have had no flooding on our property this time.
    We are very lucky that most of drought ridden North Island had at least a week of soft rain before Cyclone Tam.
    We have had a drought this summer so our ground was hard and cracked from lack of rain.
    This soft rain opened up the ground and has allowed rain to soak in, avoiding worse flooding.
    Thank you acknowledging your dismal attempt at pronouning our place names.
    There are plenty of videos on New Zealand and our languages. For frig sack NOT watch videos made by foreigers. They can’t pronouce jackshit.

  4. This is winter… calling this extreme in comparison to perhaps the USA and its weather conditions for the last two months is utter absurd… climate change gaslighting 😅😂

  5. This is not a disaster, rather, typical and somewhat predicatable weather for the season and saddly any damage occuring could be mitigated with beter infrastucture. This isn't type of weather is typical between December and April when many tropical cyclones hit the upper half of the North Island. This storm is quite moderate compared to cyclone Bola in the 1980's. While some power is out because of wind damage to power lines, other causes will be traffic accicents involving power lines and of course the fact the New Zealands power infrastucture is in woefull need to an update. Likewise, local councils need to change regulations around storm water run off in the towns and cities to prevent flooding. How do I know…I live in New Zealand.

  6. 👋👋👋 Please, please , please stop ripping our Maori named townships to parts …… if you are going to do this job of reporting on our country learn our language first !! Apart from this thanks for the update but we have our own weather people …… who can speak our language !! 😊😊😊 Gisborne / NZ
