Family of three living in cabin a month after losing everything in Auckland floods
One month on from Auckland’s devastating record-breaking rain, some of those affected are still picking up the pieces.
Catherine Beggs and her family were forced to swim to safety in waist-deep water on the night of January 27.
They returned home the following day to find they had lost all their personal belongings in the deluge - including their recently renovated home in Mt Roskill.
