We got out in time ...

We flew from Auckland to New Plymouth yesterday just after midday. This was taken from the taxi in central Auckland. Heavy rain, but a few hours later the rain really came down and much of Auckland was badly flooded, plus the airport was closed. I'm glad our flight was before it got really bad!

That doesn’t sound good but great capture.

[Dawn]

You were very lucky Delwyn , I’ve not seen flooding like this in Ak before

[Yao RL]

Lucky you, otherwise, you might be flooded out of the airport.

[Rick]

Cool capture. Good that you got out of there before it hit.

[SandraD]

So good to hear you are safe and out of there. Auckland is still under civil emergency. This picture tells it all and your narrative explains how close you were.

[Wylie]
