Many residents of Kampala especially those living in low-laying areas woke up to floods.
The floods affected areas of Bata Bata zone in Namasuba, Ndejje, Nalukolongo and Natete where businesses remained closed the biggest part of the day after flood water settled in houses especially those built in wetland.
At the Ssembule-Kitebi road in Rubaga division, a driver Edward Lubega cheated death when his car, a Prado TX was swept away by floods.
Lubega jumped out before diving and swam across.
"I survived because I know how to swim," terrified Lubega who works at Rainbow Academy said.
The car was dragged into the water channel and pushed for almost one kilometer and settled at Ntakke bakery.
It was only removed five hours later with the help of local divers and a crane.
Lubega said most of his valuables including laptops, phones and other items were affected by water that soaked the car.
Several animals in the area also died as the floods entered into people's homes.
Muscle men popularly known as Kanyamas made quick money from carrying passengers while bodaboda riders increased fares.
