One hour of rain, roads under water: Flash floods hit Shah Alam’s i-City

On November 15, flash floods engulfed roads in Shah Alam's i-City and Section 7 areas due to an hour-long downpour. According to users on the Threads application, the heavy rain, which started around 1pm, caused water to inundate the streets. A video posted by user frhn.jefx showed a flooded road with several vehicles, especially motorcycles, forced to halt.

User jacketpotato.sa also shared images of cars navigating through the floodwaters. Another user, charlie.kilo.maggi, uploaded footage at 2.46pm, depicting flash flooding near the i-City exit. They advised detouring via the area behind factories, such as Pharmaniaga, to avoid getting stranded.

Section 7 resident sashidd posted a video of flooding at a car park and cautioned the public against visiting the area. The Malaysian Meteorological Department had earlier warned of thunderstorms, heavy rain, and strong winds affecting nine states, including Kuala Lumpur, until 5pm. In Selangor, the regions at risk included Hulu Selangor, Gombak, Petaling, Kuala Selangor, and Hulu Langat.
