"calamity"

 

The sight of trees being uprooted is rare in a city landscape such as Singapore. There is no tornado, earth quake or typhoon in Singapore. 

But occasionally, the combination of strong thunderstorm with loose soil (caused by erosion), may lead to an old tree being uprooted and toppled over (as seen in one of the exercise trails in Windsor Nature Park above).

Fortunately, the adjacent area is uninhabitated. Hence, no harm was done apart from some "damage" to the adjacent trees / shrubs, and partially excavated trail.

Flash flood used to seen only in the past. However, over the recent years, flash flood has made a comeback many a times in Singapore.
