SINGAPORE – A whirlwind of debris at a development project, which includes the site for Changi Airport Terminal 5, seen in a video that had made the rounds online is a landspout, said the weatherman.
The wind seemed to be strong enough to drag orange and white barricades across the ground, and traffic signs seemed to flutter in the wind. “CAG and our contractors have since secured the movable items with additional support and works at the site have resumed following a safety assessment,” the spokesman added.
MSS said it observed several thunderstorms at the eastern end of Singapore and over the offshore islands at about 11am on Sunday.
