New images show the extent of devastation and destruction left behind by landslides in some of Auckland’s most well-known beach settlements.
The aerial images were captured this morning and show just how much the landscape has changed in areas including Muriwai and Piha after Cyclone Gabrielle tore through on Monday night.
In Muriwai, a volunteer firefighter remains missing at the site and officials announced today that a body has been found in the area where rescuers were searching.
“We have not yet identified who this is and will be working with Police to retrieve and identify the body,” Fire and Emergency chief executive Kerry Gregory said in a statement.
