At least the 2nd flood was only half the depth of the first one but remained at peak level for 6 hours before beginning to subside.
Proof of poor drainage.
Cars from Penampang Proper taking refuge at higher ground
Very slow recession of water on the next day Wednesday
Still lots of splashes going to Tanaki and Inobong
Still cannot enter lower ground driveway to houses
Rubbish collected by the flood in a rivulet joining near the outflow to Moyog river
Megalong basement carpark still flooded as on Thursday
The Impossible task of pumping water out of the longest swimming pool in Sabah.
Then the 2nd flood came on Friday Morning.
The water was still rising and yet this girl has time to sit on a plastic chair in the flood under her house.
The stupid bungalow at Penampang Proper now hidden by tall grass, nearly submerged to the roof. And this is the 2nd flood, the first did reach the roof
Site of the new Penampang Mini Hospital again flooded
But a few Penampang Kids have all the fun
Retired Engineer observing the flood characteristics
Maybe this was part of the cause of higher flood level. The width of the river Moyog is partly constricted in width by say 20 percent due to construction access for the New Dambai Bridge.
