Flash floods hit condo carpark
SINGAPORE - The heavy downpour yesterday caused the basement carpark of Varsity Park condominium, in West Coast to be flooded.
The bumper-high water level was reminiscent of another case last year at Tessarina condominium in Bukit Timah, when luxury and sports cars in the basement carpark were submerged.
A tenant at Varsity Park condo who was interviewed by the Straits Times, said this is the first incidence of flooding in the development.
Flash floods hit various parts of Singapore at 1.40pm yesterday, with the highest rainfall recorded as 91.4mm at Kent Ridge in the West Coast area.
Many other areas islandwide were also affected by the downpour.
The heavy rain brought down a tree in Tiong Bahru yesterday evening, which landed on a taxi. No one was injured in the accident.
Ankle-deep flood waters were also reported at a bus stop and hawker centre in Clementi, and a void deck in Pasir Ris.
