Wild weather wipes Northland holiday trade

Coromandel has borne the brunt of the wild weather overnight. More than 230 properties are without power in Whangamata and Tapu. The 309 road connecting the region's west and east coasts is closed due to a large slip, while there is a lot of water across State Highway 25 south of Whitianga and at Coromandel Town. The Northland Chamber of Commerce says the wild weather in the region has wiped out the holiday traffic that many businesses rely on. Northland Chamber of Commerce President Tim Robinson spoke to Morning Report's Charlotte Cook.
