2 dead, 2 missing after heavy New Zealand flooding

WELLINGTON: Torrential rain in Auckland left two dead and two missing, police confirmed Saturday, following widespread flooding across New Zealand's largest city.The bodies of two men were found in floodwaters in two separate incidents in a northern suburb, police said.The flooding also swept a man away in a community south of Auckland, and another person is unaccounted for after a landslide brought down a house in the city centre.“My thoughts are with everyone in Auckland as they wake up this morning to survey the damage and as they face an uncertain day ahead,“ new Prime Minister Chris Hipkins said in a statement.Police said they were “continuing to respond to a high number of calls to weather-related incidents”.The flash flooding turned many of Auckland's roads into rivers on Friday, and the wild weather closed the city's airport, which is the country's largest, with ankle-deep water in some terminals.Airport authorities said there would be no flights in or out of the facility befor
