"What happened last night has left me completely shattered. As most of you know, the weather yesterday was brutal, it poured relentlessly for nearly 4 hours. I live near Golf Course Road, the area known for its upscale high-rises like DLF Camellias, where homes are sold for Rs 100 crore. But even here, this is the harsh reality of Gurugram," the woman captioned her post.
"When I returned from work, I found my car half-submerged in water. But what truly broke me was what I found inside my home. This is my home. A home I had carefully and lovingly set up after I moved in. Everything that was on the floor, furniture, belongings -- was floating, soaked, and destroyed," she added, recounting the ordeal.
"I have no words left. Just pain. Just disbelief. This is not just water damage. It's emotional damage. And it's real."

Punjab Minister Mundia reviews storm waterline project in Phase 11, Mohali
To address the long-standing issue of rainwater accumulation in Phase 11, Mohali, Punjab's Water Supply and Sanitation Minister Hardeep Singh Mundia, along with AAP Punjab general secretary and chairman of the Punjab Water Supply and Sewerage Board, Dr S S Ahluwalia, Monday visited the site to review progress on the ongoing storm waterline project. The project, worth Rs 2.05 crore, has been provided permanent relief from waterlogging in the area. Mundia stated that a significant portion of the work has already been completed, resulting in noticeable relief during the current monsoon season. In previous years, rainwater would often flood homes, causing considerable damage. He directed the Water Supply and Sanitation Department to complete the remaining work within the next 45 days. Dr Ahluwalia said that a 56″ (1400 mm) diameter RCC pipeline, approximately 750 metres in length, is being laid from the Phase-11 petrol pump to the Mohali Golf Range. Once completed, the project is expected to fully resolve the rainwater problem in Phase 11, particularly benefiting the LIG and MIG houses.

Currently, the other part of the road is completely covered by debris.

Storm turns New York City subways into rivers; viral videos stir panic: ‘Isn't it dangerous?'
A fierce storm slammed the US East Coast on Thursday, bringing torrential rain and triggering flash floods that threw cities into chaos from New York to Washington DC. The relentless downpour led to emergency declarations in both New York and New Jersey, as streets became rivers, transit systems buckled, and daily life ground to a halt. In New York City, the flooding was especially severe. Subways turned into waterfalls, with viral footage showing rain gushing into Grand Central Terminal and pooling across bus floors. On Instagram, The New York Times shared videos of water rushing into several train stations, while passengers were reportedly trapped on a stalled train in Queens. Watch the video: View this post on Instagram Shared post on Time At the 7th Avenue station in Park Slope, Brooklyn, floodwater poured through the station walls. The Long Island Rail Road wasn't spared either — a train in Queens was forced to stop after the tracks were overtaken by water. Story here 👉️ | Floodwater seeped through the walls of the 7th Avenue station in Park Slope on Thursday as storms brought heavy rain and flooding to New York City. — Eyewitness News (@ABC7NY) July 31, 2025 Kathy Hochul, New York governor, declared a state of emergency for the city and nearby counties. 'Heavy rain and potential flooding are expected to affect the evening commute. Employers are encouraged to dismiss employees early. Continue to monitor your local forecasts, and stay safe,' she posted on X. New Jersey also moved swiftly. Acting governor Tahesha Way declared a state of emergency starting at 2 pm, warning that 'beginning this afternoon, we are expecting severe thunderstorms to bring heavy rainfall and damaging wind gusts with the potential for flash flooding across the state.' She urged residents to remain indoors unless absolutely necessary: 'I urge all New Jerseyans to remain alert, follow all safety protocols, and monitor the proper channels for the duration of these storms.' Meteorologist Richard Bann from the National Weather Service explained that the storm intensified as it collided with an unusually warm and moisture-rich air mass for this time of year. Thankfully, forecasters expect Friday to bring some relief, with cooler and drier conditions on the way. Netizens reacted to the video in the comments. A user wrote, 'We are NOT prepared for climate change y'all. We need a spongy city of trees and shrubs and plants, way less concrete and macadam.' Another user said, 'Isn't it dangerous to ride the subway with all that water? Isn't there a risk of getting electrocuted?' A third person commented, 'The United States is a moral superpower in decline, an empire consumed by its own individualism, where freedom has turned into fragmentation and progress hides deep social decay.'
