Lol New York City roads aren’t great. The de-icing salt used after it snows doesn’t help. But flooding isn’t a real issue here. US governments take governance serious.

They don't. People in Oakland have taken to filling in potholes by themselves.

And nobody has forgotten about Hurricane Katrina

Is that why Americans are flooding to Nigeria, passing through Libya and the Mediterranean Sea, just to get permanent residency here and work
A lifeless president of a shithole country has no blame in the eyes of his worshipers.

Not Nigeria, Not Lagos And Definitely Not Lekki. This Is Washington DC USA Flood

A dangerous flash flood emergency hit the streets of Washington D.C. during the Monday morning commute.

With three to four inches of heavy rain falling in a short amount of time, the National Weather Service said the area saw significant flash flooding.

The rain left drivers stranded on top of their cars and some metro commuters with water streaming into the station.

"Travel will be EXTRAORDINARILY dangerous," the National Weather Service warned on Twitter. "Stay out of low areas, if in a low area that may flood, seek higher ground. Stay off the roads if at all possible. This is not the 'usual' flooding."
The rain flooded the main power vault at D.C.'s National Archives, closing the building. The National Archives is home to the Declaration of Independence, the Constitution and the Bill of Rights; all those documents are safe, the National Archives and Records Administration said.

The downpour even appears to have affected the White House basement.
D.C. Mayor Muriel Bowser urged drivers to stay off the roads.

Well, pending any Government actions, we encourage any prospective car buyers to run comprehensive Vehicle History Reports on any vehicles they plan to purchase.

Contact details in signature.

Be Cautious and obtain a detailed vehicle history report from Computerglobal here on nairaland which can reveal many hidden problems from a vehicle’s past, including flood titles,recalls and more, and also will indicate if a vehicle has been registered in at-risk areas during flood and hurricane seasons.
Consumers could end up saving a great deal of time and money in repairing damages that were unbeknownst to them with they made the purchase.

I think we should also be mindful that the car owners and not crying or attempting suicide for the loss .
Cos the government will come to their aids and the cars are fully insured.
Be rest assure that it will be like the Yoruba saying . The kings house that was engulf in a fire incident . Will end up adding to the beauty of the house !!!

some of you even know better, did you know how much planning, infrastructures and hardwork goes into making sure disasters is controlled in the US? if Nigeria can do 20 percent of what the US is doing there will be no single drop of water after any magnitude of rain in Nigeria.

You’re here defending nonsense when Nigeria is madly rich enough to build the best country in the world.

An individual can steal $1trillion meant for infrastructure in Nigeria all his monkey followers will be jumping after him asking for banana

Don't worry u will soon see those flooded cars on Nigerian roads..


It's important to do your due diligence before buying a car, which includes checking for mechanical problems, accident history and assessing the vehicle's overall condition. We also recommend checking for flood damage, which can have a serious effect on your vehicle's long-term reliability.
Contact Computerglobal for a comprehensive report before you purchase any vehicle
