Auckland residents caught a close call with a slip on film last night as torrential rain pummelled the region.
Up-close footage of the slip tumbling down a Parnell hill was sent to 1News this morning of the slip that occurred around 7.15pm last night.
"We were just sitting on the couch and we heard a loud rumble and thought something on the roof was breaking," said eyewitness Melanie Spence.
"We ran to the window and saw the land just sliding - the whole cliff was basically falling apart."
At the time, trucks were seen on nearby SH16, struggling to get through the floodwaters - with one seen driving in reverse due to untenable conditions.
It comes after damaging floods impacted the wider Auckland region yesterday due to heavy rain.
