Videos uploaded to social media are showing the flood waters at the entrances to shops on the neighborhood’s main street, with little waves gently lapping against the tires of local cars and buses in the streets.
Most of the residents in the neighborhood, fortunately, are not home, having left for vacations in Switzerland, Belgium and Austria.
