I remember the support Aucklanders gave us in Christchurch after the earthquake. Hope everybody stays safe. Kia Kaha ❤️
From Christchurch yes everyone in nz supported us at the time will look for any way I can help we are all one ❤
While our family in Auckland isn't affected. Your lovely kind words to Auckland is well received. The earthquake in Christchurch was horrific with many deaths. We're thankful it was only two dear souls & not more. However, One death brings grief to not only the family concerned, but affects many people who count themselves thankful it wasn't them. Have a lovely weekend Koogle.
@@margotblanchette3767 thank you for your kind words. Yes one death is too many. So sad.
Kiwis are good in a time of crisis, the country will rally together for Auckland
Thank you from Mangere. We had a river running through the garage but the house is ok.
Im 51, lived in Auckland all my life, never, ever seen anything like this before.
Same.
@@Cha4k Yep def seen flooding close to this further up north.
Bless the people in New Zealand.
@SEEK THE TRUTH! after researching religion I have come to the conclusion that it is all bullshit, no thank you.
@SEEK THE TRUTH! I choose women's Rights brother
@SEEK THE TRUTH! 😠
@SEEK THE TRUTH! umm! thanks for your support anyway, peace.
I heard the first aircraft filled with thoughts and prayers are already on their way.
If such unprecedented events become more frequent , most cities around the world are underprepared to deal with flooding.
It’s crazy right now I live in the south Island and we are experiencing a heat wave. No sign of any precipitation down here.
Its called "summer" lol....not a heat wave
@Mag & Turbo New Lynn That’s what my mum called it
@Lukin Nesbit lol well mum is incorrect, it's just summer champ! Not anything "crazy" going on at all lol
@@SSR00000 You’re right
Had more than 5 foot of water in our garden and I know people who lost their houses. Scary day and scary night.
Stay safe! ❤
Never seen anything like this, living in Auckland my whole, it was pretty damn scary
isn't auckland located at low level for the sea water to easily wash over the city 😱
I never thought Auckland would ever experience something like this
its only tiny parts of Auckland in realty probably 2% at a wild guess.
@@Battleneter it was pretty much the entire city
@@Battleneter i dont think you live in auckland…..
@@Battleneter umm yeah... roughly 41% of the city suffered damage to cars, homes and buildings.
@@Battleneter 🤨
Gday everyone in new Zealand im sorry for what happened on Friday and to the people who lost their lives 🙏 love and support from Australia
I love New Zealand
Why? You must have come from somewhere exceptionally horrendous then.
Love and prayers from England
Not used to it in Auckland....but the South islands West Coast gets an average of 6 metres of rain per year....as the earth warms...there will be many more severe precipitations...
Thanks Will, thats why the West Coast is..........empty. We will get by with bigger drains
South Island West Coast is rain forest, Auckland is not. No city in the world has infrastructure designed to handle the amount or rain Auckland received
Parts of Auckland got close to 3m in 40 hours. I think the Airport was about 274cm, and some recordings were higher than that. The West Coast is a narrow strip of flattish land against a mountain range spine running down the SI, so high rainfall there is a normal weather pattern. There is nothing normal about what has hit Auckland.
@@ytzpilot I did say if you read it correctly ...Auckland is not used to that much rain....I lived on West coast out of Hokitika for 5 years... My son lives in Sydney....they too were getting unusual precipitations and flooding . Cities made up of millions of tons of concrete....which of course creates a problem when heavy downpours occur..also where most trees and bush is cut down...nothing to soak up the water...
@@williamearnshaw410 Vancouver had been getting similar storms last May, and recently California. Precipitation over the pacific forms an atmospheric river that dumps massive amounts of rain in a concentrated area, Vancouver called it a deluge, this is happening in more regions around the pacific now
RIP to the people that died
Flooded all around me, luckily my house wasn't affected but the river right next door to my neibours ripped throughout their garden and was at our fence line. Scary as hell. Packed all my Gaming, Studying, PC setup. The force of the water blew the the covers off the man holes in my garden clean up it's crazy. Still expecting rain today through to Wednesday
Stay safe! ❤
all the best mate
So sad,hope you can all reach safety.
how can I help you 😱
R.I.P. to those who lost their lives and condolences to their families

@SEEK THE TRUTH! Surah 9:5 is us being reasonable why we are d!sgusted by your cult. Get out of here.
@SEEK THE TRUTH! oh go away .
Auckland and New Zealand seem to be experiencing these one in a hundred year events every few months. In March we had a similar downpour, caused significant damage. Insurance companies are baulking at paying out because of the frequency of these events.
Not just NZ. Oz, Pakistan, India, US and other ... still no climate change aye.
@@KiwisDownUnder I'm not a climate change advocate, but we are experiencing more extreme weather, so what does that tell us?
@@glennfolau6959 " I'm not a climate change advocate", so that tells us you're anti-science.
@@Kaboomnz I am for science, I'm just saying that there is an increased incidence of these extreme weather events. Science is playing its part.
Anyone that truely believes measuring things for a couple of hundred years thinks it’s enough to say how the planet operates over millions of years is so naive.
Beside Auckland , heavy rail has been falling in most areas of the upper North Island.
Do you mean hail, or the train that fell off the tracks today lol
Yes Chris, it's not just Auckland. It's just as bad or worse outside of our city. Media seems to focus too much on us, instead of showing the broader picture.
Prayers for NZ 💐🙏🇦🇺🙏💐
didn't god cause the rain to begin with?
@@BewareTheNoid 🙄
@@lesleyhughes3174 idk I think it's kinda silly to pray to someone who caused the horrible event to begin with
@@BewareTheNoid how is it so that a God caused this event?
@@lesleyhughes3174 because thats what the bible says? case and point, see: Jeremiah. 10:13 Psalm 147:8; 148:8 Job 37: 3, 6, 10-13 So yeah god controls the weather and thus created this entire disaster, not very all loving or all good of him eh?
This is so Tragic.
My heart goes out to the families of these people. I have lived in NZ all my life and am far from being a spring chicken. In all my life I have never seen such distraction. I wish for everyone who is going threw hardship and have lost homes or have been effected in anyway. Head up shoulders back. We are a strong breed. Don't let this break u. Godbless.👍🤟❤️ With my thought going out to all.
Streuth, the Henderson suburbs got hit there. Stay safe guys. (also a big thumbs down for the moronic posts in this comments section)
@brooklyn balla strewth ! Bloody single U rather than double U....
I watched as hordes of idiots drove thier petrol cars into a metre of water expecting it to still be running after. Was truly a spectacular sight.
That was a comment worth making.
@@JG-us9lu I wonder if any Tesla's made it out alive?
God bless the people in New zealand I love you New Zealand
I live in auckland and had no idea it was this bad. I live in a very coastal area which I am guessing is why I haven't seen the worst of the flooding. Rest in peace to those lost
*peace.
@Ryan Johnson oh my god that's so embarrassing hahah, I just edited it, sorry 😭😭😭
I had no idea what was going on just down the road from me! Paknsave completely flooded, skatepark filled with water. It’s scary that these things can happen so close and you don’t even know
me 2 bruh
I'm in Papakura, wasn't too bad, but the rain.
Deepest condolences to families and friends affected by the floodings
とてもほっこりするニュースですね☺️
Kia Ora my kiwi whanau. So sad what happened to Auckland. Be safe. Take care. ❤.
It looks like some of the houses were allowed to be built on rather precarious terrain …
looks like the built the same as on the California coast except they are not built hanging over the cliffs to start and with a timber support on the overhanging parts.
Can confirm the city council also said that which is true, but then again rain like this was unusual but common to some concept
Bugger off!
@@emmeriankiwi6993 realize this but andyone who builds on a brautiful slope or over a dry creek on the coast in BC Canada, a cliff in California, of the top of aniy soil cliff anywhere is just asking for problems. if history has taught nothing else it has taught that.
New Zealand Prime Minister declared the flood in Auckland as unprecedented. That means they haven't prepared for it or they built where they shouldn't. There was a state of emergency declared in Auckland on the 27th of January 2021 because of flooding. (source 'The Guardian' UK) A real journalist would have pointed out that it isn't unprecedented.
Welcome to the club of flooding cities around the world..stay warm
Parts of NZ flood quite often it nothing new to us Kiwis nor are Typhoons earthquakes and drought. Thanks for your kind words.
249mm in 24 hours recorded at the Auckland Airport!
And the airport flooded, yet the airport is less than 500 meters from the sea on flat ground, which is many meters lower down. Suggests incompetence by airport management or council by not having suitable rainwater drainage.
@@AORD72 - Auckland despite being the largest metro urban in new Zealand and a long track record over the years to do quick fix solutions and not plan for the future despite bad car based urban planning sprawl.
Since records began. When was that ? Oh yeah just over a hundred years ago. Bold statement.
@@JG-us9lu Exactly, who knows in, 1705 there might have been 500mm in 24hours.
@@AORD72 Also how long have we had an airport. Totally irrelevant statement.
RIP to the people that died - I’m so sad for the people of Auckland
kat- funny how on tuesday my korea pastor on elliot street- auckland was complainin to me not enough passion in new zealand and ahh told him that ahh had a feeling we were goin to be hit by a tidal wave off water. and on friday we were.
It’s mainly North Shore, West Auckland and Central that had the most damage
East Auckland where I am was fine
It's a crap hole.
Tragic.. 😪
RIP.
Until now, extreme weather still occurs in my country too. Please, take care and stay safe everyone.
Its not extreme is just a bit heavier that usual. I got flooded other parts of NZ get this all the time. This time it was out turn.
@@JG-us9lu it was extreme for Auckland lol... bit more than "just a bit heavier than usual". Friday had double the rainfall of the most rainy day of all time, which was in 1985
Us kiwis are tough we'll solider on always everyone comes together to help each other and get through it always. That's the kiwi spirit well I hope it still it..
The airport was flooded out inside and some were complaining they couldn't get on their flights out of the country. This was unprecendented there. That said it should have been formally declared an emergency hours before. Despite this emergency workers and volunteers had already been out helping for hours
I hope NZ through this situation and the people will save.

Dear Kiwis Please take care God bless you all
We are all looking forward to the price of everything going up again.
You will need to watch any EV's that have been sitting in water. After Hurricane Ian went through Florida, fire crews were being called out many hours after, for EV's that were catching fire. EV batteries do not like sitting in water.
no batteries like sitting in water.
@@rivergladesgardenrailroad8834 but normal batteries don't take an Olympic size swimming pool amount of water to put out like an EV battery does.
True that. Lithium in water in water is an extremely violent reaction
When we know flooding or bad weather is possible companies should pay their employees to stay home
Bless the people of New zealand🇮🇳
Shocking!
sorry to affected families
This was the situation where I'm from for Sep to Nov this 2022
So sad
Didn't help that our Mayor was basically MIA for most of the day and well into the night. Made no moves to cancel an Elton John concert that saw 40000 drivers battling conditions to attend and chose not to.order a shelter in place till far too late. He makes old Boris look like a schoolboy that nicked cookies...
Yes, he has harsh words for people who don't do their jobs properly. He needs to step up or step aside.
God’s grace be with them, deepest condolences and gratitude to their families.

An entire summer's worth of rain in a matter of hours!
Water....1 litre equals 1 kilogram....it is a very powerful kinetic force when on the move....I've seen many flash floods....they are indiscriminate....but if one builds on flood plains, low lying areas or too close to the sea.....mixed with too much concrete covering land areas....flooding can become a regular occurrence...
Jacinda ran away just in time....
As an Aucklander I send love to all the flooded houses
Proves one thing the infrastructure in Aux needs a overhaul.
What infrastructure,do you think, would handle that much water in such a short period of time?

Rest in peace 🙏
perhaps if they Repent, but their is no resting in peace for the wicked oh sure the world tries to pass off the idea that even the wicked can some how rest in peace after they die, but that is by no means biblical 5 I tell you, Nay: but, except ye repent, ye shall all likewise perish Luke 13:5(KJV) No Repentance no resting in peace of course when one doesn't believe God or Jesus their is no peace
@Ra Booyah666 on the contrary Hebrews 11:1(KJV) “Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen.” i believe and have faith then we see in 1 John 2:26-29 26These things have I written unto you concerning CONCERNING THEM THAT SEDUCE YOU. 27But the anointing which ye have received of him abideth in you, and ye need not that any man teach you: but as the same anointing teacheth you of all things, and is truth, and is no lie, and even as it hath taught you, ye shall abide in him. 28And now, little children, abide in him; that, when he shall appear, we may have confidence, and not be ashamed before him at his coming. 29If ye know that he is righteous, ye know that every one that doeth righteousness is born of him.

The green MP at the end , since moving to NZ a number of years ago flies multiple times back to Mexico yearly . During NZ lockdowns he flew back to Mexico then tried to jump the queue to get back. Arguing as an MP he was an essential worker. His trip back to his homeland was purpotedly to visit his sick step mother . His facebook showed him partying all over resort spots with his partner. He then flew back to NZ with him after securing a NZ visa earlier for him. The man is a facile hypocrite .
CH- Do you blame him for that torrential rain?
@Ra Booyah666 Very few are as hypocritical as green members of parliament in New Zealand.
@@chrisburzig7360 No for being another virtue signaling green. That doesn't adhere to what he preaches.
No
@Ra Booyah666 He's not running the country , Labour holds the majority seats. And being human does encompass being honest as well as being false . Some of us are one or the other . You can't be both. This MP is the latter . Fact.
The increasing "life time" weather events are clear to see around the world, happening every few years instead of a lifetime. Level of government response all depends on how much money they are willing to spend on it.
It's nowhere near as big as the great New Zealand Flood of 1878 but it's definitely been very wet with lots of rain.
Nah Ive seen shit like this happening throughout my life time all over.
May Allah help this amazing country and it's people.
didn't god cause this disaster to happen in the first place?
@@Cha4k Allah knows exactly what is needed and exactly when. May Allah protect us all.
@@BewareTheNoid That's why we seek refuge.
Anyone who Is by water fronts and coastal lines will be unprepared for any other events that comes but to save what you can
God bless u all 😢💗♥️
New Zealand sits in the temperate weather belt that cops severe winter storms off the southern ocean and severe tropical storms off the equatorial pacific during summer. Flash flooding isn’t a new phenomena but has occurred with varying severity throughout the country often causing death. This event impacted the high density populated area around Auckland so tends to create headlines. The last major flooding of Auckland occurred just last year, so not unusual. Just in case memories are short, back in 1988 Cyclone Bola struck NZ. Rainfall of close to 1 meter was recorded near Gisborne but its impact was nationwide. Twenty years before Bola a storm resulted in the loss of the Wahine, an inter island ferry an 51 of its passengers and crew. Like I say, nothing new about this storm.

意大利“水城”威尼斯也会缺水？美国商业内幕网站2月28日报道称，威尼斯近日出现罕见低潮，运河水位下降，不少河道干涸，当地的主要交通工具贡多拉船也搁浅在淤泥中。 报道称，威尼斯内陆河流目前的平均水位为海拔负0.35米，还有部分河道的最低水位一度跌至海拔负0.48米，与去年遭遇洪灾时威尼斯的水位形成巨大反差。去年12月，威尼斯由于没有启动防洪系统，发生了意想不到的洪灾，水位一下高涨至1.52米。 但这也不是威尼斯首次遭遇洪灾，2019年11月该城遭遇了半个多世纪以来的最严重洪灾，水位最高涨至1.87米左右，为1872年以来最高水位。受降雨和潮汐等影响，威尼斯水位变化无常，洪灾和低潮都对这座历史文化名城构成威胁。

OMG 😪😓😰🤧
🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺 why us
This bout of unprecedented weather is actually NOT the issue. The New Zealand Local Councils-(deals with on land issue's) and... Regional Councils-(deals with water issues) and the NZ Govts past and present have foolish, no common-sense laws, that have separated the roading infrastructure and the drainage infra-structure from each other i.e. each man for himself mentality. These 2 entities should be joined together instead of being separated, simple! N.Z's bureaucratic b.s. around these 2 things needs investigating, PRONTO.
