Wild winds have blown a trampoline into the air in the Hutt Valley, cutting power to nearby parts of Stokes Valley.
"This is just a taste of what it's like in Wellington at the moment - the wind is crazy!" a member of the public wrote on a Facebook group
for traffic updates in Horowhenua, Kāpiti and Wellington.
"Expect power outages in Stokes Valley due to this! It's raining too, so roads are super treacherous and may still have hail on them, so drive with extra care!" the person posted.
Wellington Electricity says 41 customers in Stokes Valley have no power. It expects to restore power in three hours.
Meanwhile, a tree that was blown over in the Dome Valley north of Warkworth at 3.30pm is still causing long delays on State Highway 1.
