Family spent $35k on flood repairs, only to 'lose everything' again in deluge

Mildred Armah Reporter from Central Leader

An Auckland family who had to swim to safety have lost all personal belongings in Friday’s flood and the heavy rain which followed on Tuesday – including their recently renovated home.

Catherine Beggs​, 65, and her family have survived three Auckland floods in 10 months – but the same can’t be said for her Mt Roskill home.

“The house flooded in March last year. Water came up underneath the house, and down the roof. I ended up having to buy a new roof,” Beggs said.
