    'Nothing left...': Vadodara man after losing cars to rain

    What's the story

    A man from Vadodara, Gujarat, claimed to have lost three cars due to waterlogging in his neighborhood following heavy rainfall.

    He took to Reddit to share photographs of his three cars parked in inches-deep water.

    "There's nothing left to live for anymore. All the three cars mentioned in my flair are now gone," he wrote on the platform.

    Vehicle damage

    Heavy rainfall damages luxury vehicles

    The damaged cars, included an Audi A6 worth over ₹50 lakh, a Ford EcoSport, and a Maruti Suzuki Ciaz.

    According to him, the Ciaz held sentimental value as it was a special gift received on his 18th birthday in 2019.

    "Ciaz had just done 49k km, the Ford 52, and the Audi 120k," he wrote.

    Persistent problem

    Recurring issue of waterlogging

    The Reddit user disclosed that this is not his first encounter with such a situation.

    He had previously lost two other cars to waterlogging in his former residential society.

    When asked about the possibility of salvaging the vehicles, he responded, "There is 8 to 10 feet of water outside. No one can come in [to tow the cars] till the water goes down."

    Parking clarification

    Cars were parked inside bungalow, not on road

    The man clarified that the cars were not damaged due to being parked on the road but were parked inside his bungalow in a gated society.

    "I stay in a 5 BHK bungalow in a society with 85 houses. We have three car parkings per house. Water has seeped seven inches into my house and almost four feet outside my house. What could I have done? The whole area, or rather the whole city, has been affected," he wrote.

    Citywide impact

    Vadodara city grapples with severe waterlogging

    Vadodara city recorded 307mm of rainfall from 6am to 12am on Monday, leading to widespread waterlogging.

    Many parts of the city and main roads were submerged under knee-deep water, forcing residents to stay indoors the following day.

    As many as 28 people have died in rain-related incidents in Gujarat in the past few days, while around 17,800 people have been evacuated from flood-affected areas.
