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.

Sad😐 that tree must have been a hundred years old or more.
RIP big christmas tree
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.
Tree placement.

Nice of that man to check on people ❤👍
Bro, the winds of Wellington are pretty strong that can even destroy 500000 trees per year
I feel very unsafe because it's very windy with clear sky's, some see through clouds the full moon, and heavy mad angry rustling winds that's making the tree look like to almost fall onto my house with my mom and dad
Thank you for giving the information
Poor TREE and people's TREE and people who were inside that house
Here before the video blows up on the internet.
How strong was the wind?

I feel bad for the pine tree,he had to take it all in and he just snapped in half.
One tree falled in our house Then the roof collapsed in our tv and fridge
Sicuramente era un albero ammalato, perché quello non è vento da buttare giù un abete di quella stazza!
😢
I don’t suppose you could of stopped it but maybe stop filming and get down to warn ppl , I just don’t get this idea of filming dangerous and bad situations.
the tree!

It's a very tall tree, left to stand out in the open by itself with no protection and a small area for its roots to grow.
