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.

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.

At least there's an emergency response team to help unlike here in Nigeria where someone people will see as an avenue to make money by charging people 100naira to cross the water

Is that why Americans are flooding to Nigeria, passing through Libya and the Mediterranean Sea, just to get permanent residency here and work huh

A lifeless president of a shithole country has no blame in the eyes of his worshipers.

How long did the flash flood last for?
How many days does it occur in a year?
Does it happen every year?
