A man was stranded after his car got caught in flash-flood in the South Indian city of Hyderabad on Monday.<br /><br />The gushing waters pounded his car, overflowing its bonnet and windshield even as he sat glued to his seat helplessly. <br /><br />The narrow road not only helped the water level rise quickly but also made it impossible for the car to turn in any direction. <br /><br />An onlooker can be seen signalling the driver to get off the car or reverse it. The driver gesticulates indicating there was no way to do it. <br /><br />While the driver seems to have escaped, a massive cloudburst killed three people in the city Monday evening. <br /><br />Heavy rains pounded the city in just a two-hour span, triggering flash-floods, which swept off vehicles and damaged buildings. <br /><br />Officials appealed to citizens not to step out and at least 50% of city was blacked out after the rains. <br /><br />Traffic came to standstill on most roads. <br /><br />The National Disaster Response Force (NDRF) was pressed into service and rescue operations continued till late night.
