The historical feat that wasn't wanted (or expected)

Headines in The Star today :



Johor Flooded


(central JB becoming a natural pond)



Wet wet wet day.


Johor came to a standstill yesterday when heavy rain which lasted over 24 hours
- the worst in 100 years -
caused floods in Johor Bahru and several major towns



(one of the landslides that occured...slick..)



And check this out :
35 cm of rain in just one day



sweet.



Whoever could've imagined that Johor, from all places, would suffer a flood this magnificient bad in a hundred years.
(think of all the people this past 100 years who didn't get to experience this)



To think I was sitting in my comfy home (and mourning), inventing my "arm", and slugging through Malay literature homework, without realising a piece of history (one which nobody wants, obviously) was being recorded at that very moment. Lets just hope something like that won't happen again...
(At least not as long as I live and also so that the Internet doesn't crap out again. Personal General needs above all else at stake here)
