Reggie Rockstone's home floods after Tuesday's downpour
On Tuesday, July 5, a few pieces of Accra, including head roads, got overwhelmed following weighty downpours.
Rapper Reggie Rockstone was among the handfuls whose homes were taken over by floodwaters that morning.
The performer posted a video of the harm done to his Cantonments home on Instagram.
The water which washed through the roads in Reggie Rockstone's local spread to his compound.
He later detected a tremendous reptile gripping to his front entryway in the midst of the flood.
"I supplicate the hoods and all are protected. I'm thankful for everything except I can hardly comprehend what's going on somewhere else," he subtitled his post.
This comes after Tuesday's deluge went on for around five hours.
The downpours impacted numerous regions including Kaneshie, Achimota, Teshie, Dansoman, Darkuman and Kwame Nkrumah Circle among others.
