Within hours of the heavy rain falling in Tāmaki Makaurau on Friday, Aucklanders knew it was serious.
Roads were flooded, transport links broken and homes inundated as emergency services rushed to rescue people from homes and vehicles across the Super City.
Now a new map reveals the scale of the rescue effort. The map, which was published by a Twitter account connected to the New Zealand Professional Firefighters Union, shows the massive number of weather-related incidents logged from all across Auckland at 6.45pm on Friday night.
