A tornado has roared through the New Zealand city of Auckland, killing at least two people and injuring several more.
It touched down around 1500 (0300 GMT) in the city's Albany area and then moved south, felling trees and tearing roofs off houses.
Cars were overturned by the tornado, which left a 5 km-long (3 mile-long) trail of damage.
A roof was also ripped off a shopping centre in Albany, local media said.
Auckland Mayor Len Brown said that the death toll could rise. "We've had two confirmed fatalities, it's absolutely disastrous," he told local media.
Witnesses described debris flying though the air and cars torn from the ground as the slow-moving funnel passed.
