The incident quickly gained attention on social media, with many users expressing shock at the state of the new cars. As of now, the precise count of affected vehicles and the full extent of the damage remains undisclosed.

Some locals stated that the current situation is more severe than past incidents. Additionally, falling trees contributed to damage inflicted on cars during the flood event.",
