When a thunderstorm struck Rotorua on Sunday night, most people were hiding for cover.
But the family of Kawhena Wiringi were out looking for their lost loved one in the hope the bad weather had brought him out into the open.
Wiringi hasn't been seen since November 15 at his whānau's Ngāpuna marae and police and his family are desperate for help to find him.
Wiringi, 30, suffers from a health condition, he hasn't accessed his money and his phone was left at his home.
His aunt, Kahu Mutu, whom he lived with, said unfortunately there had been no leads since publicity about Wiringi's disappearance.
