STOMPers encountered flash floods in parts of Singapore this morning (Sep 5), such as the Ayer Rajah Expressway and Clementi, which caused traffic jams lasting for more than half an hour.
According to a Straits Times report, a tree fell on two cars, causing massive traffic jam along Dunearn Road.
These areas reported high flood risk: Pandan Kechil, Sime Darby Centre, Sunset, Alexandra Canal near Zion Road, Commonwealth Avenue/Commonwealth Drive, and Indus Road/Ganges Avenue.
Flash floods also occurred at Alexandra Road, near the junction of Delta Road, and Commonwealth Avenue/Commonwealth Drive, near Commonwealth MRT station.
But the floods have subsided by 9.48am, according to the PUB.
STOMPer Steven said:
"Flash flood at AYE Exit 9.
"The flood is still there and at tire level.
"I was stuck there for half an hour and many cars were partially submerged."
STOMPer Jan said:
"Floods at AYE this morning.
"The traffic at the A YE came to a standstill because of the downpour."
STOMPer Henry said:
"Heavy downpour since early this monring has turned the stretch of road outside Clementi Town Secondary and Clementi Primary School into a muddy river.|
"The road is hardly accessible to pedestrians unless they are prepared to wet their feet in the muddy water."
STOMPer William said:
"Travel out for work at 7am.
"Buses and car soaked in water.
"I wonder what time I will reach the workplace today."
STOMPer Fiee said:
"It was raining heavily in the morning.
"I was on my way to work when I noticed that the monsoon drain nearby was overflowing.
"Upon walking to the bus stop, I was taken aback to see the condition at the expressway.
"Water was all the way up, covering the floor of the elevated bus stop platform.
"The photos shows many vehicles already half submerged in the flood."
STOMPer Melvyn said:
"At around 9.30am, the heavy rains and strong winds caused the tree to fall on the car as senn in the picture.
"The tree branches completely blocked off both sides of the road to traffic.
"Long jam in both directions as buses cannot make a u-turn."
STOMPer Chew said:
"Flooding on AYE this morning, 5 September.
"Screenshot taken from a friend's FB posting where he encountered the flooding first-hand."
STOMPer Nurul said:
"School flood."
