KEY POINTS:
Falling trees crashed on to an Auckland home and blocked roads in Northland last night as windy weather battered the north of the country.
A tree fell on a house in Short St, Manurewa, shortly after 7.30pm but caused no structural damage. Fire safety officers decided it was safe to leave it overnight.
The Fire Service was also called to clear trees from three separate parts of State Highway 1 near Kaitaia, Kawakawa and Kaikohe yesterday evening.
