Scariest thunderstorm ever..

As i am blogging in the dark now, i can hear a clear loud thunder and flashes of lightning outside. This is the first time i experience such a serious thunderstorm - and yes, the electricity was cut off. :(

I just took a glimpse out of my window, and oh my gosh! All the trees in my apartment area were rooted off the ground. One fell on a red car - whoever the unfortunate owner is, i am so sorry to see that.

The storm was so bad that it sounded like hail. It felt like my windows were going to shatter at one point. FYI, i wasnt exaggerating.

After 20 minutes of heart pounding moments, the storm seem to have gone past us now. The thunder sounded further away. I took a second look outside - new discovery. One of the apartment's fences fell on top of a stretch of cars. Jesus Christ!

And the rain water made their way into the gaps of my window - causes the carpet on the floor next to the window to be soaked wet. "Wow, never in the 2 years i have been here had i seen such a thing happen" - John said.

Police cars are seen everwhere. The neighbourhood is full of sirens from the police car. Tomorrow we will hear some interesting news on the TV.

In the meantime, i need to take the candles into the bathroom to brush my teeth and sleep. It is going to be extremely hot tonite without the AC...

"Hot out of the oven" pictures, taken from my apartment window..


All the chairs and cushions were blew into the pool by the strong wind last nite. A big tree fell into it too..


Rooted trees..


Look at the impact. The red car was the one that i talked about earlier - about tree falling on top of it. Seems like the owner has no idea about it yet. -___-

Unbelieveable..
