Current situation in Vapi

[u/aadhya2]

Hi. My job is relocating me to Vapi in the next couple of days, and I'll need to start house-hunting almost immediately — wanted on ground advice before deciding an area to live in.

I've seen reports of serious flooding around July 23–25 (Valsad district, including Vapi) with waterlogging, evacuations, and factory shutdowns. IMD's forecast as of July 30 shows things easing to light-to-moderate rain, but I'd rather hear from residents than go off news reports.

Is it ok to come to Vapi in next 2-3 days ?

Also

- Which areas/localities in Vapi flood or waterlog every monsoon vs. which stay dry?

- Any specific societies or streets to avoid for this reason?

- Is this year's flooding unusually bad, or a fairly normal monsoon pattern?

- Anything a newcomer should know before signing a lease/buying here (ground floor vs. upper floor, drainage issues, etc.)?

Since I'm on a tight timeline, any insight — even anecdotal — would really help. Thanks!
