Flash Floods in Singapore again!!!

A torrential downpour in the early hours of Saturday morning triggered flash floods in Braddell Road, Joo Chiat Terrace, Changi Road, Opera Estate, Bukit Timah and Delfi in Orchard Road with water rising to waist level. . It is the third time in recent months that heavy rain caused havoc to motorists and resulted in severe flooding. Residents staying in Opera Estate awoke to screams from neighbours alerting them that flood waters were gushing into their homes, even as trash bins, buckets and shoes went floating down the road. Some places were like swimming pool!

Late last month, PM Lee warned Singaporeans that they cannot expect the island republic to be completely free of floods. “I don’t think it is possible in Singapore to expect the place to be completely free of floods,” he said, as torrential downpours are a part of the climate for “an island in the tropics”.

Reflection: It must difficult and painstaking for the people there or trapped in the floods. I hope there would not a fourth strike. Definetely not near where I stay , I do not know what to do...
