Freak tornado kills 3 in Auckland, New Zealand!!!

Description
An unusually destructive tornado swept through neighborhoods around New Zealand’s largest city Thursday, killing three people and forcing 250 more to evacuate damaged and powerless homes. The small tornado hit Hobsonville and Whenuapai, western suburbs of Auckland, during a midday storm that also uprooted trees, damaged buildings and caused flooding that closed roads. Authorities said that as well as those who died, seven people suffering a range of injuries were admitted to hospitals. The tornado was the deadliest in New Zealand in more than 60 years. Although the country reports about seven tornados on average each year, most are small, mild and do little damage. New Zealand’s temperate maritime climate means it isn’t prone to the large, destructive tornados that plague places like the American Midwest. Auckland Council spokesman Glyn Walters said the storm made about 150 homes uninhabitable. He said some of those homes had roofs torn off or were severely damaged while others had more minor damage or had lost power. He said 250 residents were taken to an air force base at Whenuapai, where council staff and welfare workers were assisting them. The worst weather appeared to have passed by midafternoon, Walters said. “It’s clearing up slightly but people need to be careful out there,� he said.

Freak tornado kills 3 in Auckland, New Zealand

Posted on December 6, 2012


December 6, 2012 – AUCKLAND – A freak tornado hit Auckland Thursday killing three people and causing “utter devastation” as wild weather ripped apart homes and caused flash flooding in New Zealand’s largest city. The storm, packing gusts of more than 110 kilometers (70 miles) per hour, struck suburban Hobsonville in the afternoon, toppling trees, ripping roofs from houses and sending debris flying. Civil Defense said three people died and seven were hospitalized, with two of the fatalities believed to have been caused by a concrete slab that landed on the cabin of a truck and the other by a falling tree. About 150 homes were badly damaged, many rendered uninhabitable, forcing residents into temporary accommodation at a nearby air force base. Resident Suzanne McFadden said the storm roared through in “five minutes of utter devastation.” Police urged people to stay indoors as flash floods blocked roads and falling trees brought down power lines, blacking out about 1,300 homes. The Met service weather agency said the tornado was created by a series of intense thunderstorms that lashed the city through the day, largely dissipating by early evening, although there were fears the winds could pick up overnight. Prime Minister John Key expressed condolences to the families of the dead and praised the efforts of emergency services, who swiftly sealed off an area of about one square kilometre (0.4 square miles) that was worst affected by the tornado. -TN [link to theextinctionprotocol.wordpress.com]

1pm... I was in my Maths class @ waitakere college. Every minute there were dozens of lightning flashes with relentless hail, rain and thunder, not to mention incredible gale-force winds! Then, all of a sudden, the most blinding lightning, accompanied by the loudest and longest thunder rumble I've ever heard, soon accompanied by a 'Lockdown Siren'! Somehow the staff may've found out that there's a tornado warning, and for a couple of minutes, we were in a lockdown! I've typed 2 much

Three people have been killed and seven injured during a storm, including a tornado, that hit Auckland today, with another tornado hitting near Rotorua later this afternoon.

Police have confirmed the deaths and injuries. Two of those affected were believed to be involved in the construction of a school at Hobsonville Point and killed by a falling concrete slab, while another victim was reportedly hit by a tree.



Hawkins Construction has confirmed that there were a number of fatalities and injuries suffered by subcontractors at its Hobsonville School building site in West Auckland during this afternoon's devastating tornado.

Executive general manager Dan Ashby said the company's immediate focus was on supporting the affected workers' families, and its staff and subcontractors on site.

There has also been reports of another tornado touching down near Rotorua late this afternoon, bringing down hundreds of trees in the area.

The Fire Service told The Daily Post a small tornado went through Sunnex Rd at Hamurana at 3.20pm today.

Forty children understood to be from Mokoia Intermediate and 13 adults were at a horse riding class and were evacuated to a property on Sunnex Rd to make sure they were safe.

Some of the properties on Sunnex Rd were also evacuated.

Sunnex Rd resident Anne Bannan described the tornado as very loud and fierce.

"It was sort of like something banging against the house. It was so loud and fierce. I couldn't hear a thing. I couldn't see the bottom of the hill. The rain was so heavy. It was just blocking everything out. It was really scary," she said.

She said she had heard that a worker at a nearby property was in a light truck which was "twirled around" in the tornado.

She said the power lines were down in water and the road was completely blocked.

"The fire brigade is at the end of the road keeping a watch."

She said that at 5.30pm they had been without power for about two hours

About 150 homes were damaged at Whenuapai and many were deemed uninhabitable or were without power.

About 300 residents had been evacuated to Whenuapai Air Force Base and Auckland Council welfare staff were assisting them.

Theory as to why we are experiencing severe environmental change.

Oil is the earth’s natural coolant.
Therefore, extraction of oil makes the earth’s crust warmer.
Warmer earth’s crust makes the oceans warmer.
Warmer oceans, causes severe hurricanes/cyclones, and thunderstorms.

Oil is a substance that balances the earth’s crust.
Extraction of oil makes the earth’s crust unbalanced.
Unbalanced earth’s crust causes severe earthquakes, tsunamis and volcanos.

STOP people from getting oil out of our planet. Oil is meant to stay underground. We simply do not need to extract oil, in order to survive. The indigenous populations the world over, survived without extracting oil. We CAN live without ruining the planet. If we continue extracting oil, we will have NO planet. Boycott all oil. Rise up and STOP them getting oil out of the earth. It’s time to forget about money and luxuries. Be virtuous. Do what’s right.

the worst thing is that they are starting to take oil from shale in many places too...

OP, please send my theory to every media outlet and government agency you can.

Together, we CAN make a difference.

We just have to be brave and stand together.

Portugal, Spain, Italy, New Zealand... tornados hitting the planet.

you forgot Greece...
