Flying from Waipawa in a helicopter the destruction from the storm that hit costal Hawkes Bay is pretty bad in some areas. Spent the day doing aerial shots for NZPA. Images of the damage are here.

First settlement visited was Kairakau Beach where half the camping ground was washed away, the sandy beach was buried under logs and debris, and flooding has washed silt through the surrounding properties.
