Footage from various sources confirms the extent of the damage caused by the intense rainfall that swept through the region, displacing countless residents and leaving a trail of destruction in its wake.
According to eyewitness accounts, the storm, which intensified on the night of 22 June, caught residents off guard, catching many unaware and unprepared for the torrential downpour that ensued.
