It might be a popular getaway spot but this weekend a very unwelcome guest is scheduled to arrive on the Coromandel Peninsula. A red strong wind warning has been issued as Cyclone Vaianu bears down on the country. The entire North island is under some form of weather warning or watch, with no part expected to be unscathed. But the Coromandel Peninsula and Great Barrier Island are at the highest level with a red strong wind warning from 5am til 6pm on Sunday. Thames Coromandel District Mayor Peter Revell spoke to Lisa Owen.
