Video:Heavy rains cause flooding and damage in Accra, collapsing structures in East Legon

Short and heavy rains cause flooding, billboard collapses and other damage across Accra

A heavy downpour on Tuesday evening wreaked havoc in parts of Accra, leading to severe flooding and infrastructure damage in areas such as Madina, Legon, Okponglo, and East Legon.

The intense rainfall submerged roads, disrupted traffic, and caused billboards to collapse. At the A&C Mall in East Legon, a carport reportedly caved in due to the strong winds and heavy rain, adding to the destruction.

Residents and commuters were left stranded as floodwaters made several roads impassable. Many have called for improved drainage systems to curb the recurring issue of flooding in the capital.

Authorities are yet to assess the full extent of the damage, but emergency response teams have been urged to act swiftly to restore normalcy in the affected areas.

Watch videos of some of the havoc caused by the downpour below:
