[EarthPower1989]

I was playing Rugby for my school even though I hate Rugby. At the time the storm hit.

[NoathanOthing]

[pogobull]

WOW. crazy weather .awesome vid.

[seekingelite]

Very nice and unique footage.

[Benefactorism]

wow super good stuff, choice Bro !!

[lbfortress]

Amazing! It looks like you definitely know when it hits?

[jxxxjppp]

wow that was a sudden storm! was there much thunder and lightning,or was it just wind and rain?

[mygoditsras12]

When this hot I lost internet it was weird...

[theYoda09]

There was a squall once where I live in the UK. In fact, it was only novemeber 2009. It was about 10mph winds before, then when we got the shower, it was about 70mph

[theYoda09]

Was that actual spped?

[Volkade]

I was wearing a thin button-up shirt and carrying groceries through lower hutt when this hit. Goddamn did that suck.

[opplevelse]

great footage :)

[Kramer3278]

Cool

[JDog7001]

That is cool! I wish I was in that house then. I love the rain

[bakertony]

very cool! You might like to check out a timelapse of a snow flurry hitting Putney, London, UK, that I recorded. Search for "bakertony snow" (without quotes) in youtube...

[insomniachq]

amazing footage! so eerie.

[Dausaua]

That was a buzzy day, it got so dark so quick! I was on Petone esplanade sitting in traffic when it arrived and when it hit, woah it was powerful. Gotta love Welly!

a sudden storm from the south as Paul Van Rensburg sails into in it....

[kianakai]

The timing of this storm and the immensity of it had to have effected Paul Van Rensburg and perhaps caused his demise. This is sudden and furious stuff.

God bless him.

What can I say, other than "WOW!"

[subyladie]

I was in the middle of the cook strait!! that was an experience.

[stirlingmafia92baker]

[Dvoracekmara]

Hi! super storm capture!!!!!*s

[Firedblade101]

Haha thank god I was out of Wellington for that weekend

[peacebuntou]

and this is why I moved out of Lyall Bay to warmer climates. lol

[ppitm]

Shiiiit. I thought the second take was sped up!

[tuhuamaid]

I really want to source the satelite path of the storm on Friday as Paul van Rensburg was last heard of 13.30 Friday heading towards the East Cape from Tauranga on his way to Gisborne. I heard that the search tomorrow will be up to the Bay of Islands and 80 km offshore. I wonder if viewing of the satelite footage coud give the searchers more info as to Paul's possible  position. NIWA?

[DannyLemon]

Stirring stuff...

[Aden101]

God, that looks emotional.

[triathlete77]

I used to live up that street! I miss watching the south coast storms roll in...

[JimmyNZC]

me and my colleague were on the plane in wellington about to take off, then the storm hit, I thought we were in the air lol!

[HaloVsC0D4VsGTA]

[civ34]

[fu3ar25]

antwhere else in the world and would have been a disaster not in wellys its fun! lol

nice vid!

[dobberdoss]

why did you chose to speed up the footage? for effect?

[plan9music]

I shoot most of my footage as timelapse. I have been shooting lots of weather sequences as linking pieces for a short film I am working on.

Check out my Youtube vid called "This Bird has Flown" to see the type of thing I do.

[HaloVsC0D4VsGTA]

Bro a least we Aint Fiji whos Winds Are Double da speeds.

[pugi050]

Do you do the time-lapse with a dslr? I have a Nikon d5000 where this is built in the camera I can set it up on a tripod and do the same thing..

[lyallbaybum69]

Great footage,thanks.I was just about to go outside for a wee kick of football with my son and we saw it approaching.

$1500 worth of damage to my car when my neighbour's car was blown and aquaplaned into it.Hallelujah for insurance!

[tomhardwick1261]

Thats a good view of the storm.

[DeathRiderDoom]

yeah it really came on pretty quickly. I remeber the rain being intense

[Tiiaannaaa]

Damn, that was pretty scary ay.

My friend seen a blow up pool fly past her lounge room window lol

[lingleenz]

I use to live in between Owhiro Bay and Island Bay - Frobisher St. I remember how it felt living so high up, and the storms coming in during the winter season! Strong and scary! Nice clip!!

[kekelelei]

[civ34]

LOL

[fdt1]

[Airbusvsboeing]

[DeiwEssy]

[pottywattiesauce]

[abundantgarden]

Thankyou for the video. We were watching it head for New Zealand on the radar after it had hit Melbourne Australia. We were wondering how you got on. thankyou. Thats awesome footage. Well done.

[thepretenda]

[charlieanneharley]

[TheFuntoss]

[ScissorFilm]

[plan9music]

No. it's not sped up after 26 sec

[ScissorFilm]

holy shit, I really thought it was

[lovesimpsonsheaps]

that was scary :D ripped off my window!!!!

[Aaendewyy]

This can turn into tornado

[Crabv1]

I lost my gate in that storm D:

[missfreckles101]

Im in wanganui. and i was sitting outside with a blue sky. then within 5mins the sky went black. only raining lightly for about 10mins. which is weird coz trees fel over around town.

[Sammythepie]

@missfreckles101 I remember that.

[85511813086]

this storm was very fast, as i sit in my bedroom watch the scenic to purirua, then i saw a BIG wide black cloud moving so fast and after 2mins everything went dark and then my room became cold as in winter, (from 18c drop to 5c just in 2-3mins. and the wind is so strong that i can see some tree (medium and small) in my backyard blowing away. and lighting also, it was scary.

[thatGUYfromSKWL]

Id be shitting my self!

[secondyonsama]

I can tell, its end of summer. There is always be a heavy storm in NZ just before fall and end of summer. Its like turning point.

[kahimia]

Yea im on Adelaide Rd and this came frm no wea. Was jst chilln on the deck lookn at the view and nxt minute heavy strom. Felt bad for all the people going pass...coz it hit em lyk a rugby tackle(e.g. suicide pass) was a HUGE suprise

[AndrewJParlane]

I saw a house get uprooted.

[PublicLibraryx]

WOW thats great :D i was wondering why it was so cold that night :o it not very stormy in New Plymouth though.. the mountain stops all the storms

[duckybrown]

Great footage. I was at the airport and had just boarded a plane. It was freaky!! We ended up stuck in the plane and waiting on the tarmac for an hour before it was safe enough to take off. I have never felt a plane shake so much and we were still on the ground!

[phonetic808]

Is this house in welland place i think i used to live there 4 years ago

[Cassiopianz]

Excellent video! Hope your kids are all over the scare!

[mikeymofonz]

Cool Vid =P

[zzmack2]

That damn storm hit hard n fast. Like it came out from nowhere. I was in my car just pulling into the supermarket when we were hit and the blingin wind was so hard that it lifted the car with me and my 4 kids in it. Now that was pretty freaky. Good footage by the way.

[oyahoyahoyah]

i live near there (:

[MrChunksify]

It's the apocalypse! The end is nigh!

[enoch3777]

I live in Blenheim just across the coast, and this hit our timber mill, I was swept off my feet and started getting sucked uncontrollably along the ground, I tried to find shelter behind a large pack of timber and seconds later the whole pack blew over the fence and into the vineyard next door, smashing some of it to pieces. A crazy moment in my life! I'm glad I wasn't crushed by the falling timber, all I received was a few cuts. 20 minutes later it was a still and sunny day!

[111Lozza]

Wow your brave. I probibly would have hidden under my bed =]

Kwl video

[mattmanmkb]

Nice HD. It was a beautiful storm. I look forward to more storms this winter.

[Allanahk]

Great video- we were driving past Kapiti when it came through- blue sky behind us- darker and darker in front of us.

[UnkleSi]

Great vid man.  Where did you take it from? I grew up in Seatoun.

[Thunder081]

This has got to be the best timlapse of the storm. I love how it comes in so fast wipping up all the sea spray, then the heavy rain pelts the windows.

[S3iG3]

Nice footage, I'm surprised the Mic didn't get baffled by the wind!

[plan9music]

@S3iG3 Unfortunately the auto focus got baffled. I didn't have time to change to manual focus. I shot a bunch more footage than this but the camera couldn't figure out what to focus on.

I was too busy freaking out to notice. I was pretty disappointed when I saw what I had shot. Could've been a lot better. Next time.

[Thunder081]

No you should not be, this is totally amazing footage and if you sent it to the news they probably would have shown it on tv. 5/5!

[ThunderboltNZ]

Excellent!

[accordvtak]

That's a mint video of time lapse! Mother nature at its best

[smokeysteve1]

Great work man.

[emmaensign]

this is insane, im from wellington and quite gutted i missed it as i enjoy a good storm occassionaly haha but i currently live in chch and had no idea there was a storm up there, the weather in chch earlier in the day was so mild compared to this haha

[tehoro]

The first 25 secs or so are speeded up rather than realtime?

[plan9music]

@tehoro yeah until the first cut is timelapse. then it goes to real time. I shoot a lot of timelapse of the weather coming in. I certainly wasn't expecting it to turn into what it did. It was pretty scary watching those waterspouts coming towards me. I've never seen that before. By the time I made it home branches were blowing past me. A while later roofing iron was blowing past.

[jaimelbourne]

It was a beautiful, blue sky, calm day, and then within 10 minutes, STORM! It was scary.

Thanks for the vid, I was too busy hiding under my bed to take footage!
