That whooshing sound you could hear on the weekend wasn’t Tropical Cyclone Gabrielle – it was the residents of Norfolk Island exhaling after an anticipated direct hit didn’t eventuate. Trees and power lines were brought down in the 85km/hr winds on Saturday night, but it could have been much worse. “People talk about a cyclone angel and our continued good luck with the cyclones,” said resident Hannah Taylor. And notably, the island’s beloved rescue turtle Doris has been spotted safe and well… That doesn’t mean Gabrielle’s done yet… Downgraded to a sub-tropical low-pressure system from a Category 2 cyclone, it headed towards Auckland, which is still recovering from being hit with record downpours a couple of weeks ago. Officials say residents are in for a “full trifecta” of heavy rain, strong winds and storm surges that will intensify today and tomorrow.
