Residents of an Ondo community in the Ondo West Local Government Area of Ondo State are counting their losses after heavy flooding swept through the area last Friday following a torrential rain. Hundreds of residents affected by the flood disaster have begun to tally their losses as many properties were destroyed by the flood, which accompanied four hours of downpour. She reported that many houses and structures were submerged, and several residents who drowned were rescued by individuals, with no lives lost in the flood. If you look at the volume of water coming from the other side of the culvert to Jordan Street, it is substantial. I want to appeal to our people to block any areas where they believe water can flow into their homes.
