Goiás247 - The heavy rain that fell late Monday afternoon flooded several streets and avenues in Goiânia, turning traffic into complete chaos.
In less than 15 days, this is the second time that heavy rain has practically paralyzed the entire capital. Around 17:30 pm, areas such as Praça Cívica, Avenida 85, Avenida Assis Chateaubriand, T-9, Avenida Independência, and the Araguaia Tunnel were impassable.
Cars were swept away by the floodwaters, and on Independência Avenue (Central Region), a vehicle was left floating in the middle of the road. The Araguaia tunnel was flooded with water and mud, and the overpasses on Avenida 85 also had water that prevented motorcyclists from passing.
