New Zealand's largest city Auckland has declared a state of emergency after torrential rain prompted widespread flooding and evacuations.
The downpour in Auckland on Friday shifted houses, stalled traffic and cut power to homes and businesses - with an Elton John concert, expected to be attended by 40,000 fans, cancelled minutes before it was due to start.
The New Zealand Herald reported that a body had been found in Wairau Valley on Auckland's north shore.

oh my goodness!!! prayers 🙏🏻 for new zealand 🇳🇿
Too late for prayers when all this year's people were celebrating homosexuality.And this is just the beginning of what is going to happen to us if we don't turn back to Jesus.He is love but also a judge.
@@ee-io8ui lol, time to take your meds.
Well they to have a pervert PM although HE Is about to resign. So good point.👍
Honestly have you even read the bible because I don’t remember Jesus judging people hating gays and praying outside abortion facility’s. Why would god care that 2 men love each other and not give a shit about the holocaust against gods people and starvation in Africa.
The war that ravages my land, A constant threat, a constant band, Of violence and destruction, Leaves me with no solution. I fled to safety, far away, But still, the trauma's here to stay, And though I've left my home behind, The war still haunts my peace of mind. I dream of studying at a school, Of becoming something great, a jewel, But the war has left its mark on me, And getting into universities, I can't see. For though I've fled to safer shores, The war still lingers, a constant sore, And though I've worked so hard and true, I'm not as great as those Robotics Engineers, who. Graduated from the top schools, And now have futures, bright and cool, But I, with war-torn past, Will never reach their level, and surpass. Though the war has left my country in despair, And my dreams of education now a nightmare, I've fled to a new land, but still I see, The destruction and trauma, haunting me
🇬🇧 thinking of you and hoping the floods subside very soon. So sorry for all in NZ /Auckland affected by this terrible event. Stay safe.
It's just Auckland at this stage. Thanks for your thoughts.
I'm in lower north island near wellington and it is clear sky today down here btw
Thank you from New Zealand! Climate change is seeming to get worse. So many extra storms, more powerful and devastating, in the last couple of years. And the ocean temperatures around New Zealand have gone up a lot more than normal too
Thinking of you in my prayers from Fiji 🇫🇯
This weather is just crazy ..floods are just hitting every country..stay safe all in NZ🙏and my brother who lives in Auckland
I live in Auckland New Zealand . I live 40 meters above sea level yet our street was flooded and what’s more a couple of our neighbours had to evacuate. Enough water was flowing down the street for me to have a swim in.

@@brobinson8614 There is NO climate change. It's weather modification, try looking up at all the Chemtrails.
My road was completely flooded and our street was parked out cause of the Elton John concert that got cancelled, all the cars made the water rise even more, it was pretty scary. The airport got flooded and people were stranded there cause the roads were flooded and they couldn't leave, many cars got submerged as well. Great way to start Auckland Anniversary Weekend :)🇳🇿🇳🇿 Update: 3 people have been confirmed dead, it's still raining all though no flooding but it could get worse, we are very lucky to have not been badly effected 🙏🙏💗💗🇳🇿🇳🇿
Stay safe, the flood will pass and you'l some be back home with the family
Imagine if Sir Elton drowned there, the world's media would be full of it, but they'd hardly give a stuff about Auckland.
@@freewheeler8924 What's with this made up negativity? Why a scenario to paint the media badly? Why are you doing this to people who are trying to work together, media or otherwise? What do you get from this? What is your agenda?
God Is mad
@@wrathc53 "Why do I paint the media so badly?"! LOL, they don't need any help from me!
Poor drainage isn't climate change. Neither is building in low lying areas.
Kiwi here who has lived in Auckland all my life, I have NEVER seen it get this bad. Crazy times. You see this happen overseas and think it will never happen to you… until it does.
Yeah apparently it's the worst since records started, so many people have lost everything here it's so sad
That's intense, I hope you and your family/friends stay safe!
Man made ?
@@nikobellic3856 Of course. Weather modification caused by Chemtrailing. The brainwashed population of New Zealand won't understand it though they are compliant sheep.
@@nicadair7700 well I certainly wouldn't rule that out very odd weather for January here something's not right
I always feel sorry for all the animals that can't get out or stock inside buildings or barns

We don't have any stock in barns here in New Zealand. They are all outdoors.

We have to change our world, or architecture, our engineering, everything now. We better get with it, and fast. I wish, as a Californian, I knew where to start. Love you, Auckland.
I see the alarmists have convinced you then. So it's working .
@@gorgon1863 Convinced me of what?
I''m grumpy too. The grumpy club has now commenced.
Your words are truer than most, fortunately most houses here are made of stone or brick, but even that won't stop Mother nature. Stay safe out there!
As a Californian you know what to do, pitch a tent on the city sidewalk.
Stay strong , help each other Cheers from California ❤
Cheers mate we are in crazy times❤️🇳🇿

What they didn’t predict is how much rain would of come. Now 2 people are dead and 2 are missing . 😔
This is also what happens in overly urbanised, tarmaced and weakened soils...
how could they not predict it ? they could see the front coming by sattelite
Nobody is dead , why you are spreading fake news and panic unnecessarily
@@daniyalbbd5281 you can’t be serious can you honestly. I was literally in the floors myself. Sure be ignorant.
@@MissSophieLoretta sure spreading fake news is something all immigrants are doing in new Zealand. Mostly dirty Indians and here you are an exception. Continue doing your bad work, you won't be able break new Zealand
Sad ....Stay safe NZ
How frightening for all those involved.
People have to learn to get a proper survey before they buy a house built in the middle of the river
Who cares it is cheaper!
These are main roads built actually no where near any fuckin rivers. That's all rain, no rivers at all. learn to do research before making assumptions
Or right next to the beach...
@@sketch3744 Idiot. So not rivers can only exist where you pray them to me?
@@mai.vancon None of this is near a beach. This is not bodies of pre existing water that have overflowed this is legit all rainfall. Again, don't just assume the facts.
The Met Service completely failed Auckland, there was no advance warning of the rain at all. The Met Setvice was asleep at the rain radar. The Auckland council has been failing to maintain its stormwater system for years, spending the maintenance money on advertising and self promotion. There weren't any thin people on the news footage so I guess the population are good to miss a few meals.
Newzealand is a peaceful country in the world. my prayers are with you all. let me know if I can lend my services as a hospital care professionals.
Worse places need help. Third world countries like Africa. Focus on those in real need not 1st world dramas
@@karinamaissin7890 bro everyone needs help not necessary to differentiate
Over population compounds issues. No one ever mentions that anymore. The events are more freq because more housing is going in where only the native bush resided before, and more people are impacted.

@@antireligionwhyreligionmus2819why I believe people who do wrong get punished it's called karma
What do you mean by overpopulation. This area in particular is less populated in terms of density than most major cities around the world. A lot of what you're seeing is residential and not central city.
@@scootergrant8683 Yep, most of the inner suburbs and CBD are completely fine. Its actually the outskirts that got a bit fucked
@@ngairecross7792 yep it was karma, greedy fat people got washed in sewage.

1:28 I wonder what the guy in that House looking out the window is thinking..
Prayers for Auckland I hope it doesn’t get any worse
Be safe Be good be well
Wow 🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾
Luckly One Tree Hill didn't suffer any flood. Stay Safe people.
mite need to work on drainage and road infrastructure
Seen 2 police officers trying to find a blocked drain last night 🤣🤣 told them use a stick and walk along the foot path, you won't find it in the middle of road 🤣🤣🤦♂️🤦♂️
Yeah, where it's flooding there has been unprecedented development of houses with no increasing infrastructure. I live on the outskirts of Auckland. Torrential rain but no flooding.
devastating 😑
I live in New Zealand and I’m on holiday right now. Im terrified that my window was opened and water went in
WEATHER MODIFICATION .
Let's pray for new Zealand only God can help
😢How hard !
Something serious is going on here the past year the weather as been unpredictable and extreme if it's like this now it's only going to get worse over the years and eventually be hitting every country every year and when that happens nobody will care about money, jobs, retirement etc etc it will just be anarchy and fighting for food & water is this broken system we have now really worth it
The flooding here in NZ and Australia has been directly attributable to the Volcanic eruption in Tonga.
It's the earth's core, it stopped spinning
@@janea3601 and when I get stung by a bee it's because I annoyed it 👍🏻🥱
@@janea3601 how do you explain the floodings in Pakistan, Burma, California, Wales, Germany & Italy some of them places have recorded there first ever floods and all have Recorded there worst since records began lol 😂 but you can believe what you want babe if it makes you feel batter 😘
New Zealand is not that bad.The,Prime Minister is having a baby.Good country to bring children
😯 OH NO. This is HORRIBLE. It is so hard to see people and animals suffer like this. 😢 I wish I had magical powers to make it stop. What can we do to stop it? We've got to do something NOW... It's going to worsen for everyone everywhere. 😥

Actions have consequences and this is the result of hundreds of years of industrialization with no regulation.
Yes buy yourselves some scuba gear we are all going Avataaaar !!!!
What is this one in Australia New Zealand areas, the tenth flood in a year? That's beyond me.. so many weather related disasters in only a year.. very sorry for your losses.
Wowzerz. It was super intense.
Of all people to interview you choose a green mp 🙄
Yeah and probably the most rabid leftwing one even for the Greens. Must just be a coincidence though the BBC don't try to push agendas....do they?

Not uncommon. Not an indication of anything other than rainfall. The areas that had excessive flooding are all known floodplains.
No ones denying rain or floodings existed beforehand. But empirical evidence makes its undeniably a scientific fact that these events have become more severe and more frequent.
This is the worst rain auckland has had in its recorded history
It’s totally uncommon - never happened when I grew up in Auckland
Hey stop with the facts they're not scary enough.
@@mspaint93 Since when? I don't believe Maori kept records.
Good morning sir it now feeling better soon bro
Stay safe NZ🫶
Hope people can get help and to hire ground where isn't flooding.
Scary
New Zealand has Civil Defense and they told the new mayor, Wayne Brown, that they were ready to announce a state of emergency. He waited and considered it for far too long before acting much to everyone's detriment. We were trapped in the city trying to head home but there was almost no correspondence from officials on what to do. Everyone had to rely on social media such as Facebook traffic update pages for their information. Also, there was an Elton John concert and Auckland Transport told people to drive into the city as the weather was too bad to put on extra public transport. 40,000 people had already arrived by the time concert organizers pulled the pin. By then there were significantly more cars on an already busy highway on a Friday night in major flood water. Shambles. To top it off, there is a brand new motorway that is close to opening and officicials refused to use it as an escape route for the hundreds of people who were trapped by the side of State Highway One due to flooding and major road slips blocking the only ways home to the north of the city.
Im concerned about electricity still turne on while flood waters entered their homes
The sea level did not rise ...
God bless our friends. Very sad news
Damn! Sorry sweet folks!
Man.. new Zealand has the nices people
l'eau ça mouille, this is the point
It's so shooking news 💔😭💔😭😭😭😭
God help us
There is no where for rain water to go. Everything is cemented down.
I have informed well in time.....last four year back to New Zealand government and officials
Sad
It's outrageous weather EVERYWHERE

Sorry, but voiced needed me to focus to South Pole. So disaster can be also to be happened in nation near South Pole too. I can do nothing.
The amount of idiots driving through flood waters, including buses, is astounding. Aucklanders obviously have never heard the saying "if its flooded, forget it".
Tbh it happened pretty rapidly but also, Aucklanders don't experience intense flooding so no, we haven't heard that saying.
That bloody Gullible Warming ?
Blah blah Climat charge BS 🙄
Blame the volcano from a year ago
This is only the beginning over the coming decades. If governments and societies don't get their shit together, this will be the norm.
O my god there money floating in the our streets now money machine's broken, shops destroyed to .but the money 🤑 💰 floating damm😮
It should be something a warning ahead . Such an irresponsible government !

The real sad part is if there were more forests there would be less flooding
How?

i suggest if no NZers can handle this do not come and live in Australia , you really dont know what flooding is
Bruh, you clearly don't know your neighbours very well.
It is bad, but it’s not “climate change” . Don’t forget we live in an island on the Pacific Ocean; loads of rain is normal. Now, it’s the lack of planning from council as they are building new roads and housing on old structures. The systems can’t cope with rain like this. Kia kaha Auckland.
Bullshit, the frequency of these events is increasing, that’s climate change
Climate change impacts us and those in the Pacific islands more because we live on an island. Our roads and housing were never built to adapt to climate change. Why do you think this is happening my dude 🤦🏼♀️
Matilda, you can't just dismiss "climate change" like that, in the same way someone can't say "this is climate change". That's not how it works. Climate change purely leads to changing weather patterns that "can" influence the severity of events. I.e. Auckland might normally get one of these events 1 in 20 years, but with climate change it may increase to 1 in 10. Your comment is very flippant, and I'm sure you are not working in the field of climatology to be making such statements. The other part about council planning - sure, fill your boots. All councils and governments around the world are pushing the limits as to where they are building and sometimes with dire consequences. If you have a gripe here with Auckland's planning - fine.
even after adjusting historical events for inflation, the frequency of events causing at least $50 million of insurance damage in NZ is now ~6 times higher than it was in the 20th century
@@GlasgowCelticBhoy no one dismisses that the climate changes. Of course it does, how else would we have had multiple ice ages and similar effects to what we’re seeing now with the world heating up all the way back in the Roman times (before the Industrial Revolution) . I think what she was saying is don’t use this flooding as an opportunity to virtue signal this globalist nonsense.
This deadly floods are also happening at my country Brazil. But we are not damaging our climate, trust me bro 😎

Look up chan thomas story..the adam and eve story…it describes earths 12000 year cataclysmic events…that happen like clock work. Pole shift is happening and along with it these types of weather events will become more frequent as we are seeing..
