Motorists were stranded in Detroit in the United States after almost 12 centimetres of rain fell in just one day.<br /><br />Some of the heaviest rain came during the afternoon rush hour with more than 3 centimetres in 24 minutes recorded at Detroit’s Airport <br /><br />The deluge caused flash floods on the roads. Many drivers unsuspectingly drove into flooded underpasses, with cars suddenly submerged up to their rooves.<br /><br />At least five major motorways running through the city had stretched that were completely blocked by floodwaters as well as smaller streets in the centre and the suburbs.<br /><br />It’s the second heaviest rainfall ever recorded in the city – the last was in 1925.
