Wednesday, 1 February 2023

Kelly Faaui and her family lost everything when a flood ripped through south Auckland.

Torrential rain has battered Tāmaki Makaurau for the second time in a week and the city is waking to widespread flooding on Wednesday morning.

Metservice said there had been up to 60mm of rain in some parts of the city over two hours overnight.

Fire and Emergency region manager Ron Devlin said the worst-hit suburbs were Devonport, Northcote, Ellerslie, Mt Albert and Greenlane.

A weekend of wild weather that began last Friday had already led to extensive damage to roads and properties across the city.
