Chaos in New Zealand! Cyclone Tam Slams Auckland with major flooding! Roads closed, power outages!

Cyclone Tam struck New Zealand in mid-April 2025, unleashing a torrent of extreme weather across the country. Auckland experienced over 750 lightning strikes and up to 110 mm of rainfall, leading to mass flooding and 175 emergency call-outs. Northland suffered extensive damage, with tens of thousands losing power and key roads submerged or washed out. State Highway 11 was completely shut due to coastal erosion, and water conservation notices were issued as vital infrastructure was compromised. While Auckland has seen some power restored, rural areas continue grappling with outages, fallen trees, and blocked roads. The storm paralyzed air travel, disrupted telecommunications, and left communities scrambling to recover. With more tropical systems forming, New Zealand faces a prolonged storm season.
