SIBU: A ferocious thunderstorm on Wednesday evening caused major damage in town.
Scenes of uprooted trees and dangling roofs on power and telecommunication wires have terrified locals, who had never experienced anything like this before.
“I could not see anything. Traffic flow was very slow,” said Lerry Silas, a teacher who was among the Catholics going for Mass in conjunction with Holy Week prior to Good Friday and Easter Sunday this week. Many were out for dinner or looking for Malay delicacies at the Ramadan bazaar at the Sibu Town Square Phase Two when the storm hit.
Sibu Municipal Council chairman Clarence Ting Ing Horh, in a Facebook post, said that Jalan Merdeka Barat resembled a war zone with trees breaching fences of houses, Bernama reported.
