New Delhi:
It was a Freaky Friday for Delhi as the city woke up to non-stop rain. By noon, Delhi had recorded 91 mm of rainfall. The city usually gets 128 mm of rain in the entire month of September. In real-life terms, the city was stuck in knee-deep water or worse in several parts. Cars stranded were a common sight; at many places like GK1, those who lived in houses came out onto the streets, holding umbrellas to guide hapless drivers.
