Ready the ark, everyone!

The plaza in front of Ngee Ann City.

It has been raining all morning and into the afternoon here in Singapore.  Usually the island avoids the sort of seasonal monsoons that sweep through other countries in the region.  Apparently, this might have prevented the installation of adequate drainage systems along the incredibly chic Orchard Road.  The center of the city has suffered an unusual wave of flash floods today.
