Heavy rain this week left parts of West Philadelphia underwater, with floodwaters spreading across neighborhood streets and pooling at intersections.
Now, videos from the area show the aftermath when rain falls faster than drains can handle.
What happened?
Footage from one Philadelphia resident, posted under the caption “Flash Floods in West Philly,” shows water collecting at an intersection, with cars fully submerged and daily life brought to a standstill.
