Family of three living in cabin lost entire family history in Auckland floods

Mildred Armah Reporter from Central Leader

A family of three living in a cabin two months since the Auckland Anniversary weekend flooding say they’ve lost their “entire” family history.

Catherine Beggs​​ and her family were forced to swim to safety in waist-deep water on the night of January 27.

They returned home the following day to find they had lost all their household belongings in the deluge - including their recently-renovated home in Mt Roskill.
