The Grenfell family was rescued after spending a terrifying night stuck in a hut along a popular hiking track. They told New Zealand broadcaster Newshub that they set up tables to climb above the water and onto the top bunks. AD“We were worried that the whole hut would actually start moving because it was creaking and the water was pushing against the walls of the hut,” Tui Grenfell told Newshub. “So we did actually bash holes in the walls of the hut to allow the flow through the hut late last night.”ADA helicopter finally arrived in the morning to rescue them. Some rainfall is forecast over the coming days, but not the heavy rain that has caused the flooding.
