Normal life was disrupted as heavy rain lashed different parts of Prakasam district under the influence of a weather system that has developed in the Bay of Bengal on Saturday.
In a short span of three hours, Ongole received more than 100 mm of rainfall leaving all roads, including the arterial Kurnool Road, 60 Foot Road and Trunk Road in a sheet of water.
The road leading to the bus station resembled a swimming pool as there was no let up in the showers which continued for the second day on Saturday. All major roads, including the Church Centre junction, wore a deserted look following unabated rains.
