‘Then alarms & being told to immediately vacate the building.’ - by Eliza Scanlan

Shoppers have described seeing ‘lakes of water’ and ‘ladies slip and fall’ after torrential rain flooded a popular Kmart store on Tuesday. 

Customers at the Ocean Keys Shopping Centre in Perth describe scenes of mayhem at Kmart, with torrential rain causing water to flood the store, soaking a huge range of stock including homewares.

Posting footage of the unbelievable scenes on Facebook, shopper Debbie writes: ‘Out of nowhere torrential rain. Within minutes stores have water pouring in from ceilings.

‘This is Kmart - water running down inside shop Window with lakes of water in store & flowing out under doors. Saw a couple of ladies slip & fall. 😫

‘Then alarms & being told to immediately vacate the building.’

Another shopper was inside Kmart as the water hit, sharing a photo on the Kmart Hacks & Decor Facebook page of the rivers of water on the ground and water still gushing from light fittings and windows. 

‘Our Kmart store 😲 There are a few videos of water pouring through light fittings & the front window was turned into a water feature,’ writes shopper Alison.

The shocking scenes shocked many Kmart shoppers on Facebook. 

Writes one: ‘You know what amazes me? People will stand in a pool of water filming things while there are lights with water pouring out near them. Seems they aren't scared of dying.’
