Record levels of torrential rain in Auckland left three dead with a fourth person missing, New Zealand Prime Minister Chris Hipkins said Saturday after flooding devastated the country's largest city. During a press conference after visiting some of the waterlogged communities, Hipkins said flash flooding had led to "three fatalities with one person still missing as a result of the weather".
