Ridzuan Condo's (the place I'm living now) parking lot roughed up by the storm























Destruction caused by the storm near Inti Subang Jaya


This few days have been crazy. For a few days I've been sleeping v. late, as for how late you can imagine by yourselves. The day before yesterday a HUGE freak storm broke out in Subang Jaya. Large tree branches, and even huge trees fell (the big trees in Taylor's are still standing strong hehe!). Even the Inti Subang Jaya large signboard was broken by the storm (Is it some kind of judgment from heaven a.k.a Divine Retribution...I wonder).

The combination of rain, wind, and thunder was very violent. To say the truth I was a bit excited, because it's like watching a disaster movie. The power supply in Taylor's library was cut off once in a while (strangely, the 1st and 2nd floor of the library was not affected). Then I could hear people screaming while the storm was raging. Perhaps it's because the sound of thunder was about 100++ dBs. Anyway, it's crazy. This is the first rain I saw that really fits the description of "qing pen da yu". It's as if an infinite amount of people were pouring an infinite buckets of water from above.

A lot of things were destroyed. The transportation sector was affected: Roads were blocked by fallen trees, some flash floods, and the KTM connection between Setia Jaya to Port Klang was cut off due to disruptions of electricity supply. Of course, LRTs and monorails were not affected (or else how would KL people survive?). I kind of think that this is a small scale of God's punishment on human who've sinned again and again unrepentantly and without any remorse (Recall the flood in the Bible that destroyed the whole world, before which God instructed Noah to build the ark).
