It has been a real wet weekend. The downpour was continuous for most of the weekend and concern suddenly turns to panic for most Kuchingites as they saw the water rising. This time was reminiscent of the heavy downpour and serious flooding a few years back.
We all knew that the Far East is also termed as the monsoon region when during this time of the year the rains mercilessly takes its toll .
Today i dropped by at our old facilities in town to observe first hand of any impacts due to this heavy rain.
The dry dock water level as i observed seen rising more so due to water pouring in from the nearby vicinity. Certain measures were then taken.
Floods during my childhood days though were a common occurrence. The floods were treated with joy by us all(typical innocence of the young), i still remembered paddling in a boat around our house and swimming and frolicking with glee.
Let's hope then that the rainfall will now subside and any lingering fears of a major flood hitting Kuching will not be a reality...one thing for sure i must have my raincoat ready because you cant just stay home even in this kind of weather.
