Zayne Posted September 15, 2010 Report Share Posted September 15, 2010 A massive storm is forecast to hit New Zealand tomorrow bringing heavy rain and snow to much of the country. The weather bomb is the size of Australia - but likely to remain at least 1000 kilometres south of New Zealand. However its tentacles are still expected to bring winds strong enough to down trees, power lines and damaged or unstable roofing. MetService's Gerard Barrow is warning heavy ocean swells of up to seven metres are also expected off the western coasts of both islands. Blustery winds will affect the entire North Island with severe westerly gales likely about Wellington and Wairarapa. found this on the 3 news website :-?
