KOTA KINABALU: Rachel Marius was braving the neck-high flood at Kampung Tomposik, Inobong, in Penampang, with an aunt when she suddenly felt cramps in her legs.

They thought it was a normal cramp from the cold water, so her aunt had to pull her all the way to a relative’s house, against the strong current.
