Freak storm and strong winds wreak havoc across the Klang Valley

KUALA LUMPUR: A freak


 thunderstorm and strong winds referred 


to as a “mini-hurricane” by many, tore 


through the capital and parts of Selangor, 


wreaking havoc, uprooting trees and 


damaging properties.
The hardest hit areas in the 5pm storm 


were Kepong, Bandar Menjalara and 


Hartamas.
Road users on the MRR2 highway near


 Kepong turned to Twitter to report that 


the rain was so ferocious that many 


motorists stopped their vehicles by the 


roadside to wait it out.
Save the car: Fire and rescue department officers and members of the public clearing branches from a tree that uprooted near Balai Seni Lukis Negara on Jalan Tun Razak Sunday evening and fell on a car. The fallen tree blocked the road which resulted in a jam which stretched several kilometers.
