Here Comes The Rain Again

There was a sense of Deja Vu today, when incessant rain brought back another round of flooding not only in Kuching but also several parts of the state as well.

Several low-lying areas in Miri, Sibu and Bintulu suffer the same fate with evacuation centres being reactivated after the last flooding on Jan 11.

By noon today some 795 people were evacuated from these areas. While in Selangau in Sibu some 800 people were evacuated five longhouses while some more from three villages.

While in Kuching the worst hit areas are the same area in Bau, Batu Kawa and certain parts of Malay vilages located near the Sarawak River.

However by this evening, (thank goodness) most of the water in the flooded areas has subsided and hopefully it would not rain cats and dogs tomorrow.
