Flood From Heavy Rainfall Submerged Dozens Of Cars At A Parking Lot In Lagos
Flooding from heavy downpour submerged hundreds of vehicles parked in a parking lot in Lagos.
The flood water reached as high as the top of the tyre height, with one of the affected vehicle’s horn honking by itself.
The Commissioner for Environment and Water Resources had earlier disclosed that Lagos will experience abnormal rainfall in 2024.
Some residents in Lagos State are still recovering from the severe flooding caused by the torrential rainfall on June 6th, which turned many areas and ordinary streets into raging rivers.
A trending video shared shows dozens of privately owned vehicles sitting helplessly in floodwaters after heavy rains hit the former capital on Thursday.
The flood water reached as high as the top of the tyre height, with one of the affected vehicle’s horn honking by itself while another car’s screen wiper was seen running continuously.
The footage seems to be taken from one of several car parks used by privately-owned companies in the Marina area of Lagos State.
As expected, the flood waters from Thursday’s heavy downtown caused a massive gridlock as motorists try to carefully navigate the heavily flooded roads.
The Lagos State Commissioner for Environment and Water Resources Tokunbo Wahab, had earlier disclosed that the state will experience abnormal rainfall in 2024.
Speaking a news conference on 2024 seasonal climate predictions and socio-economic implications for Lagos State, Wahab said :
“The average annual rainfall predicted for 2024 was 1,936.2 mm, which was greater than the long-term average of 1,721.48 mm with the onset date expected to be the first week of April and ceasing in the first week of December.”
