Taranaki is bracing for another evening of terrible weather, possibly bringing more tornados, after being roughed up by one last night. The forecast's slightly better further north in the Bay of Plenty, where Ohope was also hit by a tornado last night, only about half an hour after New Plymouth. In both towns locals are pitching in to help each other clean up. Laura Dooney reports.
