After returning from last minute Christmas shopping, I found myself smack in the middle of what-was-a-road-now-turned-river. These shots were taken through the windscreen of my car.
I reached home to see news reports about the massive floods on all 4 channels of TV. Many homes were submerged and many lost what little assets they had. The situation was just devastating. However, the happiest ones were the kids, who were shown swimming and playing with the flood waters. Ah…the simple minded days of childhood.
The water supply here was cut since last night. I thought it was really ironic that there’s simply tons of water flowing outside, but none inside. Someone later told me that it was due to the flooded water treatment plants which were forced to be shut down, thus rendering us with no piped water. Good thing there’s still electricity and Streamyx here…hehe.
Sigh…what a mess…
Oh dear no water? All of AS? Is the Penang-AS NS highway ok? Hope things improve by the time we come back. Yeah good thing still got Streamyx!
