Each week we get a lot of viewer and reader posts, pics and videos – though this week was an exception – because we got, not dozens, but scores of them!

People from all around New Zealand and Australia were sharing their interesting, intriguing and shocking weather pics and videos, and so we wanted to do a social media “roundup” of sorts to showcase a few of our favourites.

Check them out below!
