Cyclone Vaianu Causes Floods and Power Outages in New Zealand's North Island
Cyclone Vaianu has made landfall in New Zealand's North Island, causing significant flooding, power outages, and forcing hundreds to evacuate. The cyclone, described as 'life-threatening' by MetService, brought destructive winds exceeding 130 km/h, heavy rain, and large swells. Emergency declarations have been issued in several regions, with red-level wind warnings in place. The cyclone's path has spared Auckland from the worst conditions, but authorities remain vigilant as the storm continues to pose a threat to coastal areas.
