Extreme Weathers
We've just finished watching "The Day After Tomorrow" not too long ago. And recently, Penang has been facing really extreme weathers, which made think of that movie. Just a week ago, almost every single Penangite has been complaining about the haze (refer to Q's write up on the haze) and about how it hasn't been raining. I even read somewhere about water rationing due to the drought in the Klang Valley. Visibility was down to a few hundred meters (or less). You can see from all the cars that passed by has a layer of dust on them.

Then suddenly, it is as if God answered our prayers and opened up heaven and the rain came pouring down and it continued to rain for almost a week, with intermittent stops in the middle. Gosh... even until today, it hasn't really stopped. So no more haze, but visibility is not improving either, with the heavy downpour, visibility is down to less than a few hundred meters again! :P But I prefer the rain. At least the air is fresher and washes away the air pollution.

I managed to catch the glimpse of the Sun, peeping through the clouds during one of the intermittent moments when the rain stopped. Again, I was on the bridge...



Well, hope that where ever you are reading boonspot from, you are no longer caught in the hazy dry spell and already moved into the raining category - remember to bring your umbrellas with you, not that it will help much with the strong winds and heavy rain... :P

boon out...
