Floods hit low-lying areas


Flood in Katong. -- PHOTO COURTESY OF ST READER IN KATONG

HEAVY rains lashed Singapore early on Saturday morning, with flash floods reported over several low-lying areas.

The affected areas included Braddell Road, Changi Road and Bukit Timah, where rising floodwaters stranded several drivers in their vehicles.

Singapore Civil Defence Force personnel also evacuated passengers stranded inside an SBS bus along Upper Thomson Road.

There were also reports of a fallen tree along Dorset Road which was causing traffic congestion.

At Tessarina Condo at Wilby Road, vehicles in the carpark were stranded in water. ST reader Jerry Chan said the flooding was 'chaotic' and the third time in seven months, not 'once in 50 years as suggested'.

If you know of floods in other affected areas, send details and photos to stonline@sph.com.sg

Lol, I almost can't go hm this morning, all the roads that link to my house was flooded. Lucky some kind hearted resident stop me from going into the roads, if not today can show u all a pink submarine.

At least 14 cars dead along kembangan and Still roads. Damn scary.

================

Take a look at past rainfall data. Take note of the max rainfall a day in the past years. Do you see flooding occured, say in Bt Timah or Orchard Rd in the past many years?

That is, in the past, we have endured max of 194, 178, 198mm of rainfall without any flooding, as far as I can remember. But since the barrage opening at late 2008, we have been seeing floodings liao!
According to ST today, the rainfall yesterday which caused the island wide flooding was only between 178.4 - 179.6mm!
