Ex-Cyclone Gita wreaks havoc in NZ
A STATE of emergency has been declared across large parts of New Zealand as locals are left stranded, tourists trapped and the military called in as ex-Cyclone Gita wreaks havoc across the country.
The powerful storm has caused widespread flooding and forced many Kiwis to evacuate their homes.
The storm system is the remnants of Cyclone Gita, which last week ripped through the Pacific nation of Tonga, destroying homes, churches and the historic Parliament House.
