Caught on camera: Strong winds uproot giant tree in New Zealand

Widespread flooding, heavy rainfall and gale force winds caused road closures, power outages and slips around New Zealand on April 17 and 18. The rough conditions have been fuelled by ex-Cyclone Ita with the tail end of the tropical storm hitting the islands overnight on April 17. The winds blew down a large tree in Nelson, on the north tip of the South Island, which was captured on camera by a local resident.

    A Norfolk Island pine triee. They have banned them in my Florida county because the wind strips them of their limbs and they become missles during hurricanes. I used to have one in my yard, but Hurricane Andrew broke off about 10 feet at the top. I was 100 miles north of the eye of Andrew.

    Here in the USA and Canada many people plant a similar looking tree called a Norway Spruce. They can get to be over 100 feet tall and have shallow roots so they tend to topple in high winds and take their entire root ball with them like in this video.
