Overstromingen en toeristen vast door storm in Nieuw-Zeeland

Zo'n 600 toeristen zitten vrijdag vast in Nieuw-Zeeland door een storm. De zware regenval van de voormalige tropische cycloon Fehi zorgde voor overstromingen. Wegen zijn beschadigd, bomen ontworteld en hoogspanningslijnen geknapt.

The South Island has been left with a massive clean-up job after a day of heavy downpours and strong winds lashed the country.

More than 100 people are still trapped in their cars after the remnants of ex-tropical Cyclone Fehi barrelled across New Zealand on Thursday, bringing trees and debris down onto roads.

The West Coast towns of Fox Glacier, Franz Josef, Whataroa, and Haast have are all completely cut off by slips.

Both Dunedin and Buller declared a state of emergency as torrential rain caused flooding and slips, closing roads and cutting off power to many residents.

Dunedin's state of emergency has now lifted.

A king tide, accompanied by strong wind and rain, smashed huge waves against Nelson's waterfront causing devastating damage to buildings, roads and homes.
