Two deadly landslides hit New Zealand's North Island on Thursday morning, leaving at least two people dead. The first landslide struck a house in Welcome Bay at 4:50 am. Two people escaped, but two others trapped inside died, confirmed Emergency Management Minister Mark Mitchell. Hours later, a second massive landslide hit Beachside Holiday Park near Mount Maunganui, burying vehicles, trailers, and a shower-kitchen block used by several people. Police Superintendent Tim Anderson said the missing count was in the "single figures". Rescue teams are searching through rubble. Dogs are helping find survivors. Minister Mitchell said, "There was a shower block and a, sort of, combined shower block-kitchen block and there were people using that at the time the slide came through and they are some of the ones that we’re working hard to try and recover now." Nearby, a man went missing after floods swept him off a road near Warkworth on Wednesday. Prime Minister Christopher Luxon urged locals to follow safety advice, stating, "Extreme weather continues to cause dangerous conditions across the North Island. Right now, the government is doing everything we can to support those impacted." Fire and Emergency NZ commander William Pike reported hearing voices just after the Mount Maunganui slide but ordered crews to evacuate due to unstable ground. Mayor Mahe Drysdale noted some missing people had left the campground without telling authorities. Australian tourist Sonny Worrall shared his shock: "I looked behind me and there’s a huge landslide coming down... It was like the scariest thing I’ve ever experienced in my life." The campground remains closed as rescue efforts continue.
