Flooding In Penang

It ain't all sun, sea and surf up here in Penang. We've been having flash floods pretty much every week or at least every other week. And it's been baaaaad...

Overflowing drains.

Flooded streets.

A closer look.

Flooded homes.

Ruined lawns.

Ruined cars. (Note the drowning Kelisa on the right.)

No distinction between the drain, the pavement and the road.

Fallen lampposts. 

Smashed cars.

NOTE: All pictures were taken in succession during ONE drive out for lunch on Thursday, 12 May 2011. By the time the pictures were taken, it was no longer raining. In fact, a good 2 hours had passed. So imagine how bad it was earlier. @_@
