Auckland and Coromandel are experiencing significant landslips, prompting evacuations as heavy rain warnings are issued. Residents have been forced from their homes due to the dangers posed by the unstable ground.
In a dramatic incident, a hillside collapsed into an apartment complex, startling evacuees who initially mistook the landslide for a thunderclap. The situation remains critical, with authorities monitoring the ongoing risk of further slips, particularly in areas north of Auckland where the Waiwera slip has raised concerns.
