He also lost two other cars to waterlogging in the residential society where he lived earlier. Asked if there was any hope to salvage the vehicles, the Reddit user replied: “There is 8 to 10 feet of water outside. No one can come in [to tow the cars] till the water goes down.” He also dismissed allegations of the cars being damaged because they were parked on the road. The Vadodara man pointed out that the cars were parked inside his bungalow in a gated society. “I stay in a 5BHK bungalow in a society with 85 houses. We have three car parkings per house. Water has seeped 7 inches into my house and almost 4 feet outside my house. What could I have done?” he asked. “The whole city has been affected,” he added. Vadodara city received 307 mm of rainfall between 6 am and 12 am of Monday, which resulted in waterlogging in many areas. Several parts of the city as well as main roads remained under knee-deep water, forcing people to stay indoors the following day.
