Not much fun in the air I would guess. Fortunately I was on terra firma but it was truly a spectacle. Caused a massive traffic snarl and something close to 36 hours non-stop wet stuff. The island has a few largish drainage canals running across it - most of which were full to the brim when I drove past them. One of the few times I was thankful for high-rise living.

Other than haze or preciptitation, I've never landed at Changi in anything more than a mild crosswind. Good wake up call! In the dim distant past I resided in Windy Wellington (NZ). 35kt winds? Childs play! Ah the memories.....
