KOTA KINABALU: A downpour that lasted more than four hours wreaked havoc on the suburbs of the state capital, leaving waist-deep water in homes and shoplots even at locations not normally known to flood.

Hundreds of motorists were caught in jams and city residents whose homes did not have flooding problems previously found water gushing into their homes and compounds after rain that started at about 2pm on Friday (June 18).
