12 hours after the thunderstorm



Twelve hours after last night thunderstorm, the water as expected has no place to drain to except as vapor from the sun's heat as there are no drains here. Since the sun cannot do the job quickly, they have enlisted these water trucks to pump up the water.

Traffic this morning was slow in many places as vehicles had to navigate around many water ponds. Many vehicles parked over night in open spaces were trapped.

Actually there are drains (not like the huge things in S'pore of course), the problem is that they get blocked with sand - street sweepers regularly sweep the sand into them for example.

Yes, you're right. I forgot because I hear but never see :-)
