Auckland New Zealand. On friday rainfall in auckland went nuts. 6mm or 1/4" per hour is officially considered heavy. Peak rainfall in 1 hour was 73 mm or 3". Entire summer rainfall (Dec, Jan, Feb) averages 230mm or 9" , in 24 hours they got 250mm or 10" so no surprise that drainage systems could not cope.
So far there are only 3 dead and 1 missing. Due to the speed of the flash flooding that is light.
On social media there is a clip shot on a bus going to the Elton John Concert, the water in the bus is up to the bottom of the seats, and when the camera pans forward, it shows water a foot from the TOP of the windscreen, and you can hear people saying "don't stop, don't stop" Hard on the nerves.
