Flash flood hits Tanglin Road

STOMPer Siew Hock sent in these pictures of flooding at Tanglin Road at about 2pm today (Jan 20).

He said:

"Water flowing down from Dempsey Hill is flooding the road.

"Likewise Tanglin Road before Margaret Drive is flooded, as the drain is unable to contain the fast flowing water.

@ sri00021: "whats that device on the dash?"

That's a VOSONIC GV-6300 digital video recorder, whose LCD viewing-screen has been turned off.

In a vehicle, you can mount it onto the dashboard or from the sun-visor, & power it via the cigarette-lighter. With a battery pack, you can also mount the device on a bicycle.

Floods seem to be a common sight here. But I stay pay trust on the authorities credibility in containing a problem. So far they are quick to react and it shows improving results.

Ya lor. It can get messy on rainy days. So stressful. But TV news said the flash floods came n went in about 15-20mins. We must top the world's fastest flood record if it is measured by the speed a flood subsides. While people really had 2 kayak 2 work. We jus photoshop ours for laughs. Not so bad la.
