Holy heck.. it's never been that bad... I was living in Auckland for a bit last year and I am so glad I left!

That's the airport...

I sincerely hope everyone there is safe and that the damages can be repaired! Stay safe, our Kiwi members!

I would hate to be put in that situation. There was a huge flood in my hometown in 2017. The good news is my place was high up on a hill in the neighborhood and our home was sparred. The bad news is a lot of other people lost everything they owned.

South Island.

I guess what didn't help in this situation is that the Mayor didn't declare a state of emergency until just after 11pm so if they had done that earlier a lot more help and support would have been put in place.

Some certain idiot people are taking advantage of the flooded shops by going in and robbing them!

Hopefully they're caught and brought to pay for their crimes.

Normal everywhere when anything bad comes like floods, we see that in all stores. The police can't always do anything about it. Stores end up having to throw all things away and stock new things.

That's pretty normal when catastrophes happen, people take advantage of the situation. Sad, but all too true.
