AK Floods: Mangere family's frightening Friday
Four people are now confirmed to have lost their lives in the Auckland flood, in which a summer's worth of rain fell in less than 24 hours on Friday. Our team of producers and reporters were out and about in the city yesterday, assessing the damage and speaking with those affected. We begin in south side, where some low-lying areas had people wading through shoulder-high water to get to safety. Matthew Theunissen spoke with a resident of Mascot Avenue in Mangere about his family's frightening ordeal.
