Dramatic Video Of Vijayawada Street Flooding, 4 Feet Of Water In 3 Hours

Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister N Chandrababu Naidu had camped out in flood-battered Vijayawada last week to direct rescue operations.

Dramatic time-lapse footage of floodwaters taking over a street in Andhra Pradesh's Vijayawada were shared Tuesday, underlining the scale of the emergency facing authorities after heavy rain in coastal districts killed nearly 50 people, a majority in the city, and affected over 10 lakh.

CCTV footage from Vijayawada's Ajit Singh Nagar - submerged after a breach in the Budameru canal - showed ankle-level flooding in the narrow street at 9 am.

There was no indication of the rapid rise in water level that was to come.
