THE BIG CLEAN

1News published this video item, entitled “THE BIG CLEAN” – below is their description.

Communities across the lower North Island are still coming to terms with the devastation from Cyclone Gabrielle and the enormity of the task at hand: cleaning up.

Ultimately, this will be a herculean effort to get these towns and neighbourhoods back on their feet. But it’s also a collective one. And as Miriama Kamo finds this week, taking part in an exhausting convoy to help cut off communities, people will go to the greatest of lengths to help each other.

In This Story: Cyclone

In meteorology, a cyclone is a large scale air mass that rotates around a strong center of low atmospheric pressure. Cyclones are characterized by inward spiraling winds that rotate about a zone of low pressure and typically bring winds, rain, high waves and storm surges to the areas they pass.

In the Atlantic and the northeastern Pacific oceans, a tropical cyclone is generally referred to as a hurricane (from the name of the ancient Central American deity of wind, Huracan), in the Indian and south Pacific oceans it is called a cyclone, and in the northwestern Pacific it is called a typhoon.
