Muddy water rushes into bus during Bukit Timah flash flood that left cars stranded
Stompers documented the extent of the flash floods in Bukit Timah on April 20.
Stomper Agnes was in a bus at around 5.30pm during the flood and shared a photo of the flooded bus floor.
"It was immediately flooded up to the tyre level! People just stopped in the middle of the road. They didn't dare to move," she recalled.
"The bus 855 driver was so experienced and slowly manoeuvred around the stationary cars and went to the bus stop ahead to pick up passengers."
Photos taken from the bus also showed numerous cars half-submerged, with people holding umbrellas while walking through the flood.
"After the rain lessened, the cars moved slowly. For the cars which were stuck in the highest water levels above the wheels, they could only wait as they would have been 'floating' when driving."
A video sent by Stomper A.J.M showed an overhead view of Bukit Timah Canal from a bridge, with what appears to be leaves and soil being quickly swept away by the waters.
He also sent a video of the pedestrian walkway at Cluny Park Road, where submerged patio chairs and tables can be seen, alongside cars determined to push through the floods.
According to PUB, the heaviest rainfall of 113.2mm was recorded in the central area from 4.15pm to 6.25pm on April 20.
