It has been raining non-stop since Wednesday and this has caused flash floods in Marudi. Some residents from Rumah Jimbau have been forced to higher ground. They are now housed temporarily in SK Rumah Gudang. Also affected are some longhouses in the Puyut-Lubuk area.

In some of the areas the flood waters was said to be about 1.5 metres deep. As at press time, it was still rising and it was still raining.A number of moorcar and motorcycles are damaged as the sudden waters caught many unprepared. Some livestock and poultry were also washed away.
