New Zealand Herald
The publication reports that Cyclone Dovi was packing a punch across many parts of New Zealand yesterday (Saturday) with howling gales and heavy rain causing havoc - and forcing the closure of the Auckland Harbour Bridge.
Police urged people to avoid non-essential travel as gale-force winds struck, with gusts of between 130km per hour (81mph) and 150km per hour expected in some parts as the storm reached its peak around lunchtime and early afternoon.
