Teen saves deaf parents in storm

If not for their 15-year-old daughter, Azizan Ahmad, his wife Bashah Bahari and their 11-day-old son may have been seriously injured, or worse.

The couple were sleeping blissfully unaware that a storm had ripped away the roof of their home in Kampung Sri Muda, early yesterday.

Blissfully unaware because they are both deaf and mute.

But their teenage daughter, Siti Nur Izani, has no such impairment. She was awakened by a loud ripping sound about 4.45am.


"I knew something bad was going to happen when the storm brought such heavy rains and strong winds.

"When I heard the sound of the roof being ripped away, I ran to the other room and immediately alerted my parents.

"I grabbed my newborn brother Muhammad Adam Syafi and together, we went to seek shelter at my grandfather's house nearby," said Siti Nur Izani.

Yesterday's storm blew off the roofs of another five houses, leaving some 30 people having to seek shelter elsewhere. However, no one was hurt in the incident.

Let me see . . . . . . deaf people don't want a hearing dog and would rather have electronics to alert them . . . This time, they had their daughter in the house. What about next time?

I'd rather rely on my dog (pictured below with me and Scorch) than electronics.

The family sounds Muslim therefore they won't want to have a dog as muslims tend to see dogs as filthy and unclean. I know I know. I love dogs, too but that is the fact.

True...muslims aren't dogs friendly....thinking they are filthy and all...I guess they never even heard of dog baths...or lazy to give dogs baths.
