The torrential rain which lasted over 7 hours has caused many residents to abandon their homes and seek shelter elsewhere.

The previous incident on Saturday night resulted in a similar situation where many were left counting their losses after the downpour.
Today, social media is back within the cycle as the platforms are awash with images of flooded areas, homes and cries for help.
Please people going to Gomoa, CapeCoast, mankessim, Takoradi and Nzema should hold on, the road is blocked because of the rain
People going to Amasaman, nsawam should hold on. Those from nsawam coming to Accra should also hold on
