Some motorcycle riders sought shelter underneath the Kamuning MRT Station and waited for the rain to weaken.
Along EDSA Phil-Am, traffic was also forced to a crawl by a flood.Traffic along the southbound lane of EDSA-North Avenue also slowed after several riders who stopped underneath the MRT station occupied one lane of the highway.Despite the floods, EDSA remained passable to motorists.
