About seven hours of heavy rainfall on Tuesday, May 24, in Accra, the capital of Ghana, caused severe flooding, and disrupted activities in many parts of the capital city and beyond.

The torrential rain caused many residents to abandon their homes and seek shelter elsewhere, while workers had to wade through the flood waters to board vehicles to their destinations.

Some of the affected areas included the Tetteh Quarshie Interchange, Spintex, Madina road, the Sahara Park in Adabraka, Ablekuma, parts of Teshie, the Obetsebi Lamptey roundabout and parts of Dzorwulu.
