Absolutely fake WhatsApp news on the weather in Penang 6.11.2017


This piece of news was spread over WhatsApp today . It caused almost everyone to stay away and not go out into the streets .
It spooked a lot of people out till plans were cancelled and they huddled indoors prepared for a battering .

How did I know that this was fake ? 
I didn't but there were two reasons why I ignored this .

One .
Cause anytime our MET dept predicts bad weather , it turns out the other way .

Two .
I chose to trust my own judgement by looking up at the skies .

In the end , we had a breeze driving through Georgetown . It was so peaceful , we even found a nice parking lot at a popular hawker area in the heart of the inner city before enjoying a really quiet dinner under the skies .
