KOTA KINABALU: The floods and landslides which hit Papar, Penampang, Putatan and Kota Kinabalu on Wednesday have left a trail of mud, overturned cars and collapsed houses among the damages. Social media was swamped with pictures showing muddy homes inundated with flood waters, and partially submerged roads still inaccessible by vehicles. A flood victim who only wanted to be known as Elizabeth said she did not expect the flood waters to rise within one to two hours. A cashier who lives in Bundusan for over the past 20 years, said she had never seen the flood water rise to the main roads in her area. “It just doesn’t make sense, the rains were not any heavier than what we’ve experienced but the flood waters were coming on so fast,” said the mother of one.
