HISTORIAN SAYS IT IS TIME TO OFFICIALLY NAME WELLINGTON'S 'SHOCKING' WINDWith Wellington's 180th birthday just around the corner, a historian says it is time for Wellingtonians to have a conversation about naming the wind. But kaumātua Kura Moeahu from iwi Te Āti Awa said he had named two types in a haka called Kupe Hautoa. The winds were called te hau mātakataka and te hau āwhiowhio - te hau mātakataka referred to trees being filled and roofs being lifted while te hau āwhiowhio was connected to whirlwinds and tornados..... www.stuff.co.nz/dominion-post/news/117637062/historian-says-it-is-time-to-officially-name-wellingtons-shocking-wind
