Terry Walker: Thames-Coromandel deputy mayor on the region being cut off by Cyclone Gabrielle damage
Cyclone Gabrielle tore through the Coromandel Peninsula and effectively cut the region off from the country.
14 arterial roads in the district are flooded or blocked by slips, and a third of the region is out of power.
Thames-Coromandel deputy mayor Terry Walker says Monday night was a destructive one for the Coromandel, with gale-force winds and 450 millilitres of rain landing in the region.
Terry Walker says that the Thames-Coromandel area is resilient when it comes to extreme weather, but Cyclone Gabrielle has been especially tough on people.
