“…it was raining since 8:30 last night. Eight houses had water come in, appliances were damaged at two houses, then with the help of the military in Kaadeddhoo now the problem has been somewhat solved.” Fisal said.

Maldives National Defence Force (MNDF) said that they were active in Feydhoo, Addu City and Nadellaa in the rain last night. And so the gutters in Feydhoo were cleaned to better drain the water and pumps were used in Nadellaa to drain water from the roads.
