Whakarāpopototia te tuhinga:  Koinei te tupuhi kino rawa atu i pa ki te takutai o NSW i roto i te tekau tau, engari ko te mea e hiahia ana te katoa o te rohe ki te mohio he aha i kore ai he whakatupato i hoatu e ka waiho tenei kino. I whakapumautia e te tohunga āhuarangi a Don White mai i WeatherWatch Ahitereiria he whakatūpato āhuarangi kino i tukuna e te Tari Meteorology i te Ratapu. Heoi, ahakoa i mohio ratou ka puta i tetahi waahi i te taha tonga-rawhiti o te takutai, kaore i tino mohio ki hea. 'I matapaehia te tupuhi ki waenganui i Port Macquarie me Newcastle - e pā ana ki rite tika rite i taea e ratou te matapae. Engari i kitea he tata atu ki Newcastle i a Port Macquarie,' i kii a Mr White ki a Daily Mail Ahitereiria. E whakawhirinaki katoa ana ki te wāhi tonu e puta ai. I hangaia tēnei i te wāhi kino rawa, i te raki o Newcastle. Kātahi ka taupokina te 150km ki te tonga mai i Newcastle ki Wollongong, kei reira te tuatoru o te taupori o Ahitereiria e noho ana. Panuku ki raro mō te ataata. He rākau me ngā taura hiko kei te taha o tētahi huarahi nui i Raymond Terrace, 50km ki te raki o Sydney. He rākau nui (matau) kua unuhia i runga i te whenua i Booragul, he taone nui e tata ana ki Lake Macquarie ki te raki o Sydney i NSW. Ko nga hau kaha i te Mane po me te ata o te Turei i whakaheke i nga papa (matau) i Edgecliff, i nga taone o te rawhiti o Sydney. Ko te mahere mai i te Tari Meteorology o Ahitereiria e whakaatu ana i te matapae mō te tere o te hau puta noa i New South Wales i te pō o te Rātū. Ko te raorao o Hunter tētahi o ngā wāhi i tino pāngia i NSW ā, ko tēnei motokā i te taone o Blacksmiths te mea nui o te rangi. 'Kāore i roa ka tino whakangaro. Ehara i te mea he torutoru noa iho ngā kāinga ika iti i pā ai, pērā ki te tupuhi i te takutai tonga i ētahi wiki kua hipa.' I whakamārama hoki a Mr White i te hunga e ngana ana ki te matapae i te rangi he mahi uaua ake i tēnei wā nā te mea kāore he nui o ngā rauemi hei tono mā rātou, hei tiki i ngā mōhiohio motuhake e hiahiatia ana e rātou. Ko tā mātou raruraru ināianei, ko ngā mōhiohio katoa ka taea e mātou te tiki mai i te hau o runga, arā, kei reira te hau makariri e tīmata ana i ēnei momo āhuatanga, e whakawhirinaki ana ki...
Ko te raru nui ko te Tari Meteorology kaore i taea te matapae tika i te waahi ka hangaia te tupuhi. I matapaehia kia huihui te tupuhi i waenganui i Port Macquarie me Newcastle, engari i hangaia i te raki o Newcastle. Kātahi ka taupokina te 150km ki te tonga mai i Newcastle ki Wollongong kei reira te tuatoru o te taupori o Ahitereiria e noho ana. I te taenga mai o te tupuhi i tino nui te whakangaromanga nā te mea he rohe tāone nui. Nā te whakaheke pūtea i kore ai te Tari Meteorology e whai rauemi nui i tōna ringa. 'He ōhanga noa iho. I tēnei wā ka taea anake te whakamahi i ngā pōro rangi ki ētahi wāhi whāiti,' e ai ki te tohunga āhuarangi. I whakaae ngā ratonga tūpāpaku i te Rātū kua ohorere rātau i te kaha o te tupuhi. I whakamataku a rātau kapa i tētahi pūnaha huarere i tere te huri. I te nuinga o te wā ka neke atu tēnei pūnaha āhuarangi i muri i te 12 haora engari ka noho tēnei i te 24 ki te 36 haora.
