Violent Storm Turns Guayaquil Streets Into Rivers, Stranding Cars and Flooding Mall

Guayaquil, Ecuador – Torrential rain and an electrical storm flooded streets across Guayaquil on Monday, October 26, leaving cars and taxis stranded in deep water around the city's Mall del Sol.

X user Alvaro Rodriguez, a local businessman, filmed the flooding near the shopping centre, as yellow taxis and cars ploughed through brown water covering a wide avenue and rain lashed a pedestrian bridge over the gridlocked traffic.
