Ponsonby villas chilly in storm power outage

From Morning Report, 6:40 am on 12 April 2018

Tens of thousands of Aucklanders remain without power this morning after Tuesday night's big storm. And as well as having to endure a dark night, many have had to shiver as temperatures in the city dropped to single digits overnight. RNZ reporter Sarah Robson went for a walk down Summer Street in Ponsonby, where some houses had had their power restored while others just down the road were electricity-free. In one darkened villa she spoke to Jared, who found neighbours with power had been very willing to lend a hand.
