Thunderstorms across parts of Singapore on Sunday (Dec 7) led to sections of Tampines Mall being flooded.
Ms Chow May Kee, who called Channel NewsAsia’s hotline at about 3pm, said that the second and third floors of the mall were flooded after a heavy downpour, and there was water flowing down the staircase of the second level.
The National Environment Agency had earlier issued an advisory, warning that thunderstorms with gusty winds were expected over many areas of Singapore between 3.10pm and 4pm. The PUB also said that flash floods may occur.

actually, I more scared of fire instead of flood. there was once, 2 houses away from ours caught fire. my parents were busy carrying out all our valuables from our home. I can vividly recall how hot it was while I am typing this. [sweatdrop]

both my bro and I were housed to my relatives home that night......
