Gale-force winds and rough seas battered New Zealand’s capital of Wellington on Tuesday, forcing ferry and flight cancellations and road closures. Authorities urged hundreds of residents along the city’s south coast to evacuate. A light aircraft at Wellington airport was briefly blown over by strong winds after a gust tipped the plane onto its wing and wheel; no one was injured and the aircraft was quickly righted. According to english.aaj.tv, the plane had just landed and passengers had disembarked when the incident occurred. Bluesky reported that strong winds set off 11-meter waves on the southern coast and that a giant rock crossed the coastal road.
