Following almost 4 hours of rain, parts of Accra and other urban centres in the Greater Accra Region, including North Kaneshie, Kwame Nkrumah Circle and Kasoa have been flooded.
The phenomenon has obstructed traffic flow on major parts of the road in the capital.
Already, some Ghanaians have taken to Twitter to share videos of flooded areas after Saturday evening’s rain;
Do not drive into flooded areas. Remember: “Turn around, don’t drown.” If floodwaters rise around your car, abandon the car and move to higher ground—only if you can do so safely. #AccraFloods pic.twitter.com/pu7z3fqiPM

Now that we are in the flooding season can we share some safety tips to protect lives and property:
Avoid low spots, like ditches, basements, or underpasses. These become extremely dangerous during a flash flood #AccraFloods pic.twitter.com/9xszyHlKkN
