Family of three living in cabin lost entire family history in Auckland floods
A family of three living in a cabin two months since the Auckland Anniversary weekend flooding say they’ve lost their “entire” family history.
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 household belongings in the deluge - including their recently-renovated home in Mt Roskill.
