T’was a normal Monday for most of us with back-to-work/school pursuits.
But not for Penang.
At approximately 1:30PM, near the UDA flats close to the coasts of Tanjung Tokong, a rare waterspout occurred for what seemed like 5 minutes.

Citizens were quick to document this occurrence on their phones. In the video, there were metal sheets of Zinc caught flying around, clearly caused by the windy atmosphere of the vortex.

The unexpected spout affected the areas near it with minor damages on roofs of homes and shop lots.
As of now, there were no official reports made for casualties. And we pray and hope that it stays that way.
Sevenpie wishes everyone near the affected areas to be safe, take precautions and find secure shelter.
