Flash flood havoc puts DBKL in overdrive as Met Dept forecasts more rain

KLANG VALLEY folk have been asked to brace themselves for more thunderstorms in the evenings from now until early May.
The Malaysian Meteorological Depart­ment’s forecast showed that rain is expected almost every day from now onwards as it is a normal occurrence during the inter-monsoon season.
During this period, there will be plenty of rain, especially in the afternoon and evening and it is expected to hit parts of the Klang Valley, the department said in a statement to StarMetro.
The statement added that the thunderstorms would be accompanied by strong winds.
On Wednesday evening, a thunderstorm wreaked havoc and caused flash floods and traffic chaos in many parts of Kuala Lumpur.
Motorists were forced to abandon their vehicles and wade through waist-deep water in many main roads in Kuala Lumpur.
Areas that were hard hit were Jalan Tun Razak, Jalan Parlimen, Jalan Duta, Jalan Pudu, Jalan Cheras Lama, Jalan Chan Sow Lin, Jalan Segambut and Bukit Bintang.
Pavilion KL and Sungei Wang Plaza basement carpark area were also badly flooded resulting in many motorists being stranded.
Over in Jalan Kolam Air, a half-completed flood mitigation project which was supposed to be ready last year, had caused massive damage to some 100 houses in the area.
Flood water rose up to three feet, flooding the porch and hallways of homes.
