Heavy rain may cause streams and rivers to rise rapidly. Surface flooding and slips are also possible and driving conditions may be hazardous.

This animation shows #CycloneGabrielle's forecast rain & air pressure as it tracks southward, from @niwa_nz's latest regional modelling... The cyclone's outer rain bands will begin affecting Northland, Auckland & the Coromandel Peninsula on Saturday night & Sunday.

🚨The @MetService team have a map showing all the various models. It paints a clear picture of where #Gabrielle is tracking. MetService & WeatherWatch in agreement about storm potential, rainfall, wind speed & areas most impacted. ⚠️MetService Warnings:weatherwatch.co.nz/maps-radars/wa…

Kia ora Jacinda There will soon be a vacancy for Mayor of Auckland. Would ... you ... consider ... ??? Ngā mihi

Marae through out Tāmaki Makaurau opening their doors and feeding people . That how they roll.

Two new North & South Civil Defence Centres: ⚠️ North Shore Events Centre (Eventfinda Stadium) at 17 Silverfield, Wairau Valley. ⚠️ Manu Tukutuku, 32 Riverton Drive, Randwick Park

The Mayor of Auckland has declared a state of emergency. NEMA can now provide additional support and resources from other regions. I’m continuing to receive live updates from NEMA, liaising with Auckland based MPs and updating the Prime Minister as needed /1

⚠️ #AucklandFloods: Significant flooding is impacting parts of Tāmaki Makaurau. I’ve just popped down to an evacuation centre which has been set up at St Leonard’s School, 15 Saint Leonards Road, Kelston.

Given the on-going rain & the impacts a MetService Red Warning for Auckland has been issued. Advice from @AucklandCDEM - Stay at home if safe to do so. -Check in with neighbors and community -Call 111 if emergency but understand there is a high call load at this time. ^L

Look, all we're asking is, why can't we let the virus run free for a bit, devastate our Māori and Pacific communities, and kill me mum, on the small off chance we'll be the only country in the world where that's been good for the economy?
