Auckland floods: 'Massive crack' as multiple trees smash into Auckland home
An Auckland family were left fearing for their lives on Friday when raging floodwaters uprooted several trees and brought them crashing down into their North Shore home.
Sherrie Edwards was trying to clear some flood water which had made its way down her driveway in Northcote on Friday evening when she heard a “massive crack”.
“It was then followed by a ‘whoosh’ and I looked up, and I was like ‘oh my god’. The whole side of the bank had gone,” Edwards said.
Plastic beach rubbish
Two recent emus on Takapuna beach. One lithium battery picked up from the edge of the deck of the Harbour Bridge during the recent Hikoi. My guess is the other half is sitting at the bottom of the Waitemata Harbour.
