          Storm CleanupWeather Taranaki
          Workers from infrastructure, council, and emergency services have been praised for their efforts in cleaning up damage caused by strong winds across Taranaki.

          A shoutout to all the crew out there working overtime today. Late this afternoon, we spoke to a man on the infrastructure team who had been attending callouts non-stop since 3am.

          Thank you to the line workers, council workers, fire & emergency crew, and everyone else working hard to clean up the mess around Taranaki from the strong wind today.

          It seems to have calmed down now in New Plymouth. How's it looking where you are?
