From Checkpoint, 5:08 pm on 10 February 2023

Clean out your gutters and drains, secure trampolines and move your cars to higher ground - Aucklanders are urged to get ready for the next big storm.

Category Three Cyclone Gabrielle is expected to bring strong winds, heavy rain, and surging waves to parts of the North Island from Sunday night, with Monday and Tuesday expected to be the worst days.

The state of emergency continues in Auckland, where residents are urged to be ready to evacuate at short notice and ensure they have three days worth of food and water.
