Freak thunderstorm wreaks havoc in government housing schemes in KL


IT resembled a scene straight out of the movie "Twister," except this was the reality before our eyes, says Eugene Tham, whose friend’s condo unit was destroyed by a thunderstorm recently.

Tham, said his friend a resident residing on the 19th floor of Residensi Rimbunan Petaling in Seri Petaling, Kuala Lumpur, a public housing development by Residensi Wilayah (formerly known as Rumawip), experienced the terrifying ordeal of seeing her entire rooftop being torn off by strong winds on Thursday (March 28) night, leaving her living room exposed to the elements.
