I'm just lucky I was still at home when the rain started.

I would have lost a lot of property," a resident of Rice City told Ghanaweb."Our drains were overflowing after the heavy rains, causing my room to flood.

I've lost so many properties," another resident said."I got stuck on my way to work because the entire road leading to my work was flooded.
