tankee:
I kena that last wed, I had to slow down as fast as I can - safely (sounds very odd, but it's true)....twas very scary becos i cannot see if the car ahead is far away enough or what he is doing; and worried at the same time about the car behind me.
yes the rain was very heavy, visibility was at worst stage about 50+ m. And when the car on the opposite side of road splashed water on the windscreen, momentarily zero visibility.
Important important, keep a safe distance at all times!! -

Took DH to airport and then took the car to work. Clocked 30 kph on average from Big Splash to Keppel on ECP/AYE :idea: visibility really zero.
One friend sez her MPV nearly kenna blown away when she travelled on the viaduct. Crosswinds? :idea:
Question is why only SOME people put their hazard light on? -

Today is my KITE day!!! heeeeehawaaaaaaaaaa
Today's weather is bad. -
Is it due to the Marina Barrage? Or is it taboo topic?
I am shocked by the stomp pixs on first post here, just saw it today. The timing too coincidental. Never happened before right? So how can a few leaves in drain caused such huge floods? :imdrowning: -
100 mm rain in 1hrs is very abnormal.
It is not reasonable to design & construct drainage system to cater for abnormal heavy rainfall. -

Ah Bee....I went and it was fantastic!!!! Not hot at all and mainly windy...feels like it is something do-able every week if the weather is fine.ksi:

flash floods, comes in flash, goes in a flash
this morning after the downpour, 6.30am, the flood water is up to NYPS gate B…and by 7.30am is gone !
however some cars stalled in the middle of the road near to Gate B of NYPS
over at Farrer, it was big jam as buses from Farrer turning into Bukit Timah toward HCI were backed up to Holland / Queensway junction as the stretch at Lutheran Road bus stop was heavily flooded…some drivers caught in the midst of the jam were unaware and continue to hope to get to Bukit Timah … they should just go straight to Lornie and find a way home to go back to bed … -
Not to mention the car plates were wash away and ppl fighting for dustins… The water level came up to near half window… Isn’t that worst than last nov?
It was lucky that today was a wkend… Imagine if this happens on a wkday…
