MetService National weather: February 15th - 17th

Power is currently out to properties in Lower Kaimai thanks to wild weather and tree branches.

According to the Powerco website, power is out to 76 properties due to branches falling on power lines.

Power went out about 12.10pm and expected restoration time was 5pm.

Police said a report of a branch going through a power line and causing live lines to go across the road happened at the intersection of State Highway 29 and Soldiers Rd in Lower Kaimai.
