Hundreds of people in the West Auckland community of Muriwai are yet to return to their homes after landslides brought two houses down. Nikita Tremain woke up to a call from her mother around 6 this morning, telling her about the evacuation orders overnight on her street. And so, in the cover of darkness, she headed for the local evacuation centre at the Surf Lifesaving Club on foot, with nothing but her phone and a head torch. Many of the roads were impassable, but she managed to weave through some local walkways and hitch a ride too.
