Busy and stormy May

It has been 2 weeks since i last updated. Been so busy with work and all but what happened last night i guess took every single Mirian by surprise. At first i also thought it was a normal thunder storm.

Then, at 8.13 pm the wind started to get rough and very very strong. Not even 10 minutes into that ordeal, *poof* blackout. I was thinking to myself that the power tripped in my house. To my surprise when i looked around the neighborhood, it was dark everywhere.

I thought to myself, there was nothing i could do in this case. I took a quick shower in the dark, got myself dressed and threw myself onto my sweet bed to get some sweet quality sleep since there was nothing else i could do.

Fell asleep for about 2 hours and woke up around 10 pm. I was then awoken by a bashing sound. Like someone was knocking on a piece of metal or something and the condition of my room was getting hot even though it was raining heavily outside. Tried to put myself back to sleep but no luck.

In the end, i got myself dressed and made my way to one of the entertainment outlets in Miri. On reaching the main road, i saw a lot of cars putting on the emergency double signal. I thought it was just a car accident and people were towing the vehicles involved. To my horror, as i drove down the main road, i saw trees, uprooted and fell to the middle of the road.

Man it was just a freaky Tuesday night for us Mirians. It makes me think that we're no longer safe from cyclones or tornadoes. Scary! I don't want to go into details on what i did in the entertainment outlet as i don't remember much myself. What i know i got back at 2am and i still see firefighters on the road cutting down the fallen trees.

**See la.. Miri council want plant trees... what resort city.. in the end it endangered people's lives.. there shouldn't be any trees so near to the road la.
