Strong winds in New Zealand leave tens of thousands without power

Strong winds in New Zealand, with speeds up to 155km/h, have left around 90,000 homes without power and caused flight cancellations. The impact spans the South Island and parts of the North Island, prompting authorities to issue red wind warnings in central regions such as Canterbury and Wellington. Tragically, one person died after being hit by a falling tree branch in Wellington, as officials urge residents to stay indoors, prepare for power outages, and monitor rising river levels for possible evacuations amidst the severe weather conditions.
