A damaged car is pictured near rescue vehicles in the North Shore of Auckland on May 3, 2011 after a freak tornado hit the area, killing two people and injuring dozens more. Packing winds of 200 kilometres an hour (125 miles an hour), the twister hit the suburb of Albany without warning at about 3pm (0300 GMT), flipping cars and uprooting trees as it carved a trail of destruction stretching for kilometres.
