idk why you telling such things that I already know. Yeah, but thanks
Because you sound like living long enough to witness many exciting events including 1988 election where we all have braddell Heights Constituency exciting counting that almost fell.
Such exciting times & the awaking of sinkies to politics & the GRC system that has many walkovers after that & voters like me never got as first timer voters 1991 till 2011 watershed time. So we all live through exciting times.

The real threat to the cars is after the canal overflows. That photo shows the canal almost reaching its maximum capacity. Thankfully, the rain had trickled to a drizzle by then, so it was able to discharge the water w/o being overwhelmed by more rainfall.

I believe many car insurance policies offer flood damage coverage, but it is not universally included in standard policies.
I better check my policy for this just in case. for words like ponding, drain waterlogged...etc The carpet will need replacement, engine stalled....need work done.
