WELLINGTON: A man was struck and killed by a tree branch in a city park Tuesday (Oct 21) as stormy weather buffeted New Zealand's capital.
The dangerous winds and heavy rain disrupted travel, closed schools and cut electricity in parts of the country. Wind cancelled flights into and out of Wellington for several hours before they resumed to bumpy take-offs and landings. The storm also halted passenger ferry sailings.
