The torrential rainfall, which began in the early hours of Monday, June 29, 2026, quickly overwhelmed drainage systems and turned streets into deep rivers.
In a viral video shared on Instagram by @temajesusofficial, multiple vehicles—including high-end sedans and SUVs—parked directly in front of modern apartment blocks were seen nearly fully covered by muddy floodwaters. The water level rose so rapidly that it swallowed the tyres and hoods of the parked vehicles before owners could attempt to relocate them to higher, safer grounds.
The Tse Addo enclave, known for its rapid real estate expansion and high-income residences, became one of the hardest-hit zones during the Monday morning rush hour. Stranded residents watched helplessly from their balconies as their vehicles suffered extensive electronic and engine damage from the rising water level.
Urban planning experts and residents have frequently raised alarms over the perennial drainage issues plaguing the fast-developing community, pointing out that unchecked construction on natural waterways and inadequate drainage infrastructure leave the area highly vulnerable during the peak of the rainy season.
With emergency services and vehicle recovery teams stretched thin across the capital, vehicle owners face exorbitant mechanic bills as the water slowly recedes.
The Instagram post below has the video showing the heartbreaking scene after the heavy rainfall in Accra, Tse Addo.
