The lower floor of the BookXcess warehouse (aka Wolf House) in Shah Alam is flooded and the lights are still out. With the rising flood water levels on the weekend came a power cut that plunged the building into total darkness.

Today (Tuesday), it is still dark but one thing is obvious: thousands of books have been destroyed in the flood at the BookXcess headquarters/warehouse located in Taman Alam Indah, Shah Alam, Selangor.
