Residents of a house in the Auckland suburb of Parnell had to clamber over a fallen oak tree to get out of their house today after it fell during overnight wind and rain.

The tree fell on a car and damaged the front entrance of the house, blocking in the occupants.

No one was hurt when the tree fell, but firefighters had to cut through it so the occupants could get in and out.

Heavy rain overnight caused minor flooding around the top half of the North Island but little reported damage.

The rain was expected to ease today.
