Auckland has experienced another deluge overnight, with more widespread flooding reported.<\/p>\n

With the rain came the wind. Auckland Emergency Management said trees came down with some falling on homes<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Evacuations took place in suburbs such as Mount Roskill where floodwaters reached dangerous heights.<\/p>\n

Sections of motorways across the city were closed for some time because they were inundated with water and could not be passed.<\/p>\n

Here is a selection of images of Auckland’s downpours so far today.<\/p>\n
