Homes across the North Island are facing another night without power after mass power outages caused by strong winds.
There are nearly 1,900 properties across the North Island without power, after some of the strongest winds in years battered the region over the weekend.
Wind gusts between 150 and nearly 250 kilometres-per-hour were recorded, taking roofs off, smashing windows, and bringing down trees, fences and powerlines.
Manawatu, Tararua, Wairarapa and Whanganui have been the worst affected by the power outages.
Powerco head of network operations Caz Haydon spoke to Charlotte Cook.
