Gambar dari New Straits Times menunjukkan dahan patah
menimpa kenderaan di sekitar Pantai Dalam 

• Dua blok dilaporkan mengalami kerosakan
• 10 unit flat hilang bumbung
• Kenderaan rosak ditimpa zink bumbung 
• Jumlah kerosakan dianggar RM1 juta 

Ketika warga kota sedang sibuk pulang ke rumah masing masing selepas tamat hari bekerja, satu ribut besar melanda kawasan Bangsar dan Pantai Dalam dan mengakibatkan pelbagai kerosakan harta benda.

Selain dari dahan patah menimpa kereta dan gerai serta kedai di sekitar Pantai Dalam, angin kuat ribut tersebut juga telah mengopak bumbung dua blok flat Projek Perumahan Rakyat Sri Cempaka.

YB Menteri, Datuk Seri RNC mengumumkan
bantuan RM50,000 untuk membaiki kerosakan
bumbung Blok E flat PPR Seri Cempaka akibat
ribut

Setelah reda, penduduk yang ketakutan mendapati 10 unit flat tingkat atas kehilangan bumbung dalam kejadian pukul 6.30 petang tadi.

Alhamdulillah Menteri Wilayah Persekutuan dan Kesejahteraan Bandar, Datuk Seri Raja Nong Chik turn padang untuk melihat kerosakan yang berlaku pada kira kira pukul 10 malam.

Setelah melihat kerosakan dan berbual dengan penduduk, YB Menteri telah memberi mereka sedikit berita gembira bahawa ada pihak yang telah setuju untuk menghulur bantuan sebanyak RM50,000 bagi kerja membaiki bumbung yang telah terbang.

Katanya duit tersebut adalah sumbangan ikhlas Beijing Enterprise Water Group. Kalau nak tahu syarikat inilah yang menjadi kontraktor utama pembinaan Pantai Sewage Treatment Plant 2, iaitu loji kumbahan najis bawah tanah pertama di Malaysia yang dijangka siap dalam tempoh empat tahun lagi.

melanda Pantai Dalam 

Walaupun mereka terpaksa bermalam di rumah saudara dan menanggung kerugian yang agak besar akibat ribut tersebut, tapi terasa terubat sedikit hati bila Pak Menteri turun dengan segera, sambil membawa sumbangan.

Yang tak nampak ialah Wakil Rakyat Lembah Pantai, YB Nurul Izzah Anwar yang dikatakan sibuk menghadiri siri ceramah seluruh negara bagi membela tuduhan liwat keatas bapanya, ketua pembangkang  Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim.
