rain drops

How about the weather?
I managed to experience first hand lots of the devastation left in the wake of the recent floods.

But first a video:


It was already been raining from the nite before so I had a longer than usual drive from home to work that morning. But that was only the beginning. But noon things had gotten so bad that many roads in the area were flooded up to waist level! I even saw one cab on its side and covered up to the roof. He had probably parked his cab there overnight.

then another:


I also got to see first hand the flood at the Thomson/Joan Road/Olive Rd area. It was bad. You could even see cars nearly covered in water up to their window level. There was so much stuff being swept away from the shops that it was not even funny. Made even more un-funny by the fact that I know most of the people who work in the nurseries in the area.

Then there is this:


Besides the effects of the floods flooding(duh), there was also other side-effects like the falling trees and branches on the road, assorted falling walls of buildings and entire buildings left without power. I was supposed to go to International Plaza for a routine medical checkup, but was unable to do so as only the cargo lifts were functioning. Being that the designated clinic was on the 36th floor, it was a long, long trudge up. So I had to abandon that bright idea.
