KOTA KINABALU: A waterspout was seen near Kampung Kopimipinan in Papar on Monday (Sept 20) as downpours continue to lash parts of Sabah barely a week since a freak storm caused massive damage in areas around. A video of the waterspout was shared on the Facebook page of local radio station Kupi Kupi FM and was originally shared by Facebook user Ayprel Bony Roman. Geologist Prof Dr Felix Tongkul said such watersprouts were quite normal and seldom caused danger to anyone. “Instead, from what we are experiencing now, with continuous rains, it is floods and landslides that we should be more worried about,” he said. Many parts of Sabah including Kota Kinabalu, Bundusan, and Kota Belud are experiencing flash floods.
