"When it started raining, there were vehicles at the up-stream section. But the road surface suddenly arched upward due to the flood and blocked the raging water. Many vehicles were washed down. There was little water in my shop, but much on the road. The vehicles and tricycles were all washed away. My heart was beating fast, and I was so scared that I feared to not go anywhere. The houses on the opposite side kept falling one after the other."
