A tornado has been spotted passing through Waihī Beach.
Mark Wright says he watched two water spouts merge and then head onto land to form a twister just before 8am today.
"I could just see debris and there was just all sorts going on in the sky, and there was just almost like an explosion of debris up in the air. There was just corrugated iron and objects and birds," he told RNZ.
Fellow resident Rae also watched it come ashore close to the Island View Esplanade Reserve.
Two Staffordshire terriers bit and mauled an elderly couple in the afternoon off Highway 90 and Cupples Road, the local news outlets reported.
When the first responders arrived on the scene, they saw the elderly man being dragged by one of the dogs and had to fend off the dogs with pickaxes and poles.
San Antonio Fire Department chief Charles Hood said "no one expects to go out and fight dogs in the way they did today".
"It was a horrific scene, horrific for the people who had to experience it and for the firefighters who were part of the rescue who had to save themselves and these people attacked today," he told reporters.

Aerial footage of the sinkhole shows the giant crater filled with murky stagnant water, surrounded by dry weeds. The 9-ft-deep hole was spotted by walkers yard from the busy road leading to a house estate more than a month ago.
Council officials in Caerphilly, South Wales, were called in to look into it.
Locals believed the ground opened up due to old mine workings - but officials say the cause is still being investigated.

Carbon County was the gold medal winner for snowfall on Wednesday as 48 inches of snow was recorded at Battle Lake while campgrounds along Jack Creek and Sugar Loaf each received 42 inches.
Locations in Yellowstone National Park and Teton and Lincoln counties all received snow in excess of two feet.
The most snow in Cheyenne was in the northern areas with only 5 inches, but a 129-year record was broken when the temperature hit 19 degrees below zero early Thursday. The old record was set in 1894 at minus 13.
The deceased girl was the daughter of daily wage labourers. The incident happened on February 19 when the couple were out for work. The father said he rushed to his home after getting the information that his daughter was attacked by 3-4 dogs.
The girl was admitted to a government hospital by her father. The girl's family stay in labour colony near Diamond Bourse in Khajod area.
A doctor said that the girl had 30-40 dog bite marks all over her body. The doctors of the government hospital had carried out a minor operation, however, after three days of treatment, she succumbed.
My alma mater Reuters, the global news agency, used to be above all this hysteria and would relentlessly apply its traditional standards of fairness and balance, but even this mainstream outfit seems to have sold out to the hysterics and axe grinders.
The trouble is, many if not all of these disaster stories, far from being another step in a worsening scenario, are often nothing of the kind. In a recent book Unsettled. What Climate Science Tells Us, What It Doesn't, And Why It Matters, Steven Koonin uses the UN's Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change data to show that if reporters took the trouble to do a minimum amount of checking, most of these incidents would appear to be natural disasters, yes, but not part of some ever worsening syndrome.
Comment: The myth that CO2 is the main culprit for "global warming" is nonsense. The PTB practically "owns" all major media and news agencies in the world and they are using them to spread fake news and propaganda according to their agenda.
Climate change is real and it is a natural cycle. Humans have almost zero influence on it.
If we look a real science and real data, we can see that our planet is actually cooling, not warming.
