just rubble on the bottom, that was a house once and in between all the other houses and it was just totally demolished.” Auckland International Airport also assisted in the rescue, sending in a hovercraft with four additional USAR personnel. The slip was dozens that followed a second major deluge that hit Auckland yesterday, causing further damage to homes, streets and residents’ already frayed nerves. It’s also not yet clear when alternate Ngapipi Rd will be cleared after a tree toppled over the road. “There was a chap that was just covered and cut, some bruises and was pretty pale and it looked like he’d been through the wringer.” And it says all beaches in the region are unsafe for swimming due to contaminated floodwaters. Four people died after last Friday’s major deluge - at Orua Bay Beach yesterday, though, it was a tale of survival. There still remains a high number of landslips across Auckland despite the rain having stopped. “The elderly lady, she was trapped in the rubble and was trapped for quite some time but there were some beams and parts of the structure that were protecting her in a way as well from further injury ... Bus services are operating on all routes with extended journey times due to detours as a result of road closures. The large slip and tree are now blocking the road near Okere Falls, Rotorua. He mentioned Auckland’s clean-up efforts after the flood that has so far killed four people.
