In Ghana, there is concern whenever dark clouds gather because no matter the quantum of rain, several lives are affected as their surroundings get flooded.
A 10-hour rainfall that commenced at the wee hours of Tuesday, May 24, has left several parts of the country flooded with some public infrastructure destroyed.
Over the weekend, several houses and shops were filled with water after an 8-hour downpour. Motorists found it difficult to move as parts of the road was flooded. Floodwaters wash away vehicles into a drain at Nima.
Beyeeman Junction, Graphic Road, Osu, were among the flooded areas in Accra.
