Areas worse hit include, Goldie, CRUTECH staff quarters, Target, White House by William George Street, White House by Calabar Road, Okoro Agbor, Nelson Mandela, and Howell streets.

Some of the affected areas on Okoro Agobor and Howell streets, and some of the residents  were seen trying to salvage some of their belongings, while  children and the elderly,  trapped in the flood, were being evacuated to nearby homes less affected by the flood.
