In the area where floodwaters turned the avenues and streets almost into a stream, many floods occurred, and vehicle and pedestrian transportation was largely disrupted. The power outages that occurred after the rainfall plunged the neighborhoods into darkness. The neighborhood residents, facing both the floodwaters and the power outages, poured into the streets after what happened.
