\"\"<\/a>Severe flooding at the Kumasi Central Market following a heavy rainfall on Monday led to the destruction of goods running into thousands of Ghana Cedis.<\/p>\n

Huge quantities of wax print, children\u2019s clothing, toiletry, rice, biscuits, footwear, and provisions were destroyed as water inundated many of the stores.<\/p>\n

Gutters running through the market were reported to have suddenly turned into roaring rivers.<\/p>\n

There were, however, no casualties.<\/p>\n

The rains started about 1620 hours and lasted for a little over an hour.<\/p>\n

Some traders who spoke to the Ghana News Agency (GNA) said the extent of the flooding was scary and could not remember the last time there was such a deluge.<\/p>\n

Madam Ama Serwaah, a cloth seller, said many of them waded through water at the waist-level to safety.<\/p>\n

Others had to pay a fee of GH\u00a21.00 to be transported to high grounds by truck pushers.<\/p>\n

Mr Kwabena Opoku, a second-hand clothes dealer, said the situation could have been averted if the gutters and drains had not been blocked with garbage.<\/p>\n
