An underpass at ECP temporarily turned into an ankle-deep pool as water flooded into the tunnel on Nov. 13.

A video uploaded on TikTok showed passers-by carefully making their way across.

The user who posted the video stated the flooded underpass happened after heavy rain, which occurred from around 1pm to 4pm on the same day.

Ankle-deep water

In the video, the user carefully makes their way across the underpass as the floor can be seen submerged in water.

The water appeared to be ankle-deep.

A man riding a bicycle can also be seen carefully cycling through the flood as he holds an umbrella in one hand.

Other passers-by can also be seen slowly making their way across the underpass.

Others said calling the incident a flood is an overstatement.
