Heavy rain causes roadway and airport chaos
Heavy rain and flooded roads brought chaos to the airport and parts of George Town on Saturday, 2 Aug., and the weather service warned there was more to come.
Flights were delayed after a deluge hit areas of the town, which caused flooding in and around the airport and traffic backups.
Aircraft circled in the sky above George Town as they waited to touch down and some roads around the terminal were under up to two feet of water.
