Trees are down and there are widespread power outages after a tornado in Northland's Mangawhai.

Hato Hone St John transported two patients from Mangawhai in a serious condition. One was transported to Auckland Hospital by helicopter, while the other was transported to North Shore hospital by road.

Northpower's outage map showed three "widespread" outages covering Mangawhai, Mangawhai Heads and Langs Beach.

The power went out just before 3am Sunday.

"We have a widespread outage affecting all of our network due to a TORNADO damaging property and power lines in the wider Mangawhai Area," Northpower's website said.
