While the south-eastern suburbs close to Auckland felt only the fringe of the disturbance, Kohimarama and St. Heliers Bay were soon enveloped in dense rain. After about 20 minutes the storm passed inland, and districts surrounding Howick, Whitford. Clevedon and Papakura experienced its full force. In these areas lightning interrupted the electric power supply. The storm provided a spectacular display.
