Auckland lit up by spectacular thunderstorm

By: Tim Dower | Latest Auckland News | Saturday August 18 2012 6:55

 

One of the most spectacular thunderstorms in years lit up the sky over Auckland during the night.

The system extended into southern Northland and parts of Waikato.

More than 1,000 lightning strikes an hour were recorded as the storms made landfall.

Weatherwatch.co.nz reports car alarms were set off by the booms of thunder in West Auckland.

The weather is expected to clear later in the day.
