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.
Poll: Should all neighbours have to contribute to improvements?
An Auckland court has ruled a woman doesn’t have to contribute towards the cost of fixing a driveway she shares with 10 neighbours.
