Summary
[edit]DescriptionCyclone Bola (1988) Taranaki (33068990211).jpg | On March 7, 1988, Taranaki was hit by severe winds causing widespread damage as Cyclone Bola passed through the region. The cyclone formed in the Pacific near Vanuatu, causing damage in Vanuatu and Fiji before heading towards New Zealand. Cyclone Bola caused an estimated $90 million worth of damage across New Zealand (1988 figures). The Gisborne area was worst affected by heavy rains and 3 people were killed as their car was swept away near Tolaga Bay. As the storm dissipated, heavy rain fell over the South Island of New Zealand. The Ministry of Civil Defence was heavily involved in the response to the event and took many images of the impact across the country. This image here shows the damage caused in the Taranaki region. Archives New Zealand also holds images of the damage caused in the Gisborne area in the same series of images. |
