A few waterfalls have also been spotted in the same region. Take a look at the small trails of water that wind along the sides of the big mountains.

The heavy rains also caused water to accumulate on the roads. Cars can be seen moving slowly through the muddy waters – the movement of these vehicles creating waves in the shallow waters.
