This is breaking news in a New Zealand context.

A matter of moments ago, a Tornado has made landfall in the Albany region of greater Auckland, across the fabled Harbour Bridge.

Thanks to the wonders of social media; news; comments; pictures; and video has been bouncing off the walls in the Twitterverse, with the following the best two videos that I have presently come across.

This is an awesome event, in the “daunting” sense of the term… and a tragic one, as it seems at least one life has been uprooted!

Check these out:

First a link to the best video I have seen to date that provides one with more a bird’s eye view of what took place.  You can view this… HERE!

Context is King in Communication and it definitely is in relation to a Tornado.  In this first video, the premises and the people are pretty close to the action, yet you wouldn’t realise this from their conditions just outside their viewing window; hardly a breeze.

In this next video; the Youtubers in questions are further away, and equally nonchalant about what is unfolding before their eyes.

This last video, at this point anyway, helps to provide some perspective.
