In another video, an entire account of the flooding situation is captured. Multiple frames show rescue workers barely being able to help people, flood water rapidly turning the streets of the province into a water canal. The truly horrific part of the video was an interview where a citizen was quoted saying-
“The flood was too powerful and people got washed away. Among the several remaining people, another person and I almost wanted to give up because we didn’t have enough strength anymore”.

A separate video, enough to restore faith in humanity, shows people amid the heavy rain and slowly increasing water on the street, sticking together.
