Kumeū homes are flooded, residents aren't able to get to work and a local gym says they're "devastated" after only just recovering from Auckland's recent flooding.
Cyclone Gabrielle has caused destruction and devastation across the North Island and the small Auckland suburb of Kumeū has felt it too.
Fit Factory Kumeū has been forced to close its flooded gym after floodwaters reached knee height.
Fit Factory gym manager Jeremy Chou-lee told Newshub the gym just had its carpet replaced following Auckland's recent flooding, but Chou-lee says the new carpet will have to be ripped up and replaced again.
"The boss is pretty devastated."
Chou-lee said he and gym staff worked over the weekend to prepare for Cyclone Gabrielle in hopes "the clean up this time will be a lot quicker".
