Vector is struggling to restore power to parts of Auckland as blustery winds continue to down trees and cause havoc across the city.

Hundreds of homes remain without power at Bethells Beach and Helensville, while a new outage is affecting customers in Silverdale.

Vector is also dealing with several smaller pockets without power but says contractors are working to resolve the issues.

Winds have eased since yesterday's storm, but remain brisk.

We are in Coatesville & our street has now been without water or power for 37 hours, outage at 11.30am Sat 14. We cannot shower or bath our children, use our toilet or have any running water. We are with Contact Energy but they have been truly hopeless & have managed this event appallingly. They refuse to ask Vector to give any kind ballpark when water/power will be restored & still after 2 days & 2 nights tell us if it will be hours or days more. We will be switching from Contact.
